There are more cases where Debian stable is getting new upstream
releases.
It's mostly to keep up with the security (MySQL, PHP), but I guess that
approaching
debian-release team and pre-negotiating with them would be helpful.
Peter, there's one more question embedded within what you have already
asked:
- would new versions of python-certbot and python-acme require new
python
libraries? If yes (or maybe), then the answer would be: go with
stretch-backports.
But if you can use whatever will be in next Debian stable, it might be
feasible
to negotiate with Debian release team to push the new upstream releases
via
s-p-u. (However I am not speaking for or on behalf of the release team.)
Cheers,
