The arguments why it is wanted (and to some degree needed) didn't
change since then. There are still the two groups of people who expect
backports to be upgradeable to the next release _without_ backports, and
those who still want to have newer versions in _after_ the release.
Both are valid concerns, and both have their userbase.
