There are patches that simply cannot be backported. There are others
that are hard to backport even for the upstream maintainers who are
*deep* into the code.
So demanding of a "packager" to "always be able to backport" is too
strong.

PS: I do agree that people should be able to understand the language
their package is written in. But understanding it and backporting
something is *very* different.
