I suspect you're misreading what I wrote. “Sane” applied to “having backports enabled by default without having to know or read anything about it”. Not to the backports suites as a whole, or people contributing there, or people shepherding them, or packages therein. See also the ongoing thread on the bug report, esp. my reply to Micah.
