Which may be exacerbated by the particular way this factoid is worded in the dpkg bot on irc:
10:52 <dpkg> backports.debian.org (formerly backports.org) is an
official repository of <backports> for the current stable
distribution, prepared by Debian developers. Read
http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ to enable and
use. See also <bdo kernel> <bdo mirrors> <bdo contents>
<bdo list> <bdo bugs> <bdo pinning> <bdo key>
<backports-sloppy> <bdo xorg>.

Users will be directed to the /Instructions/ page which does not include
the new caveat. Maybe the caveat should be repeated on this page and/or
mentioned in the factoid (though that factoid is getting a bit crowded).
