Hmmm, possibly. Normally, though, you'd just backport one or two
packages - if you actually need *loads* of newer software, then Woody
isn't appropriate, but that's probably a different argument and you
requirements are likely very unusual.
For instance, our database server runs Woody. It runs PostgreSQL and
has some CGI scripts written by a colleague. For his scripts to run, we
needed to backport a couple of Perl modules. That's all. I wouldn't
really call it Not Woody.
Dave.
