I can look for the reference, but somewhere I read (recently, but as with all 
google searches, it could have been from the previous century) something to 
the effect that, well, I forget which way it worked, but somehow that maybe non 
backport applications would get a pin value like 100 so that backport 
applications would only be installed if somehow they had a higher pin value 
(or something like that).

Maybe that goes out the window if all / the only repositories were backport 
repositories?

(BTW, if it's not yet clear, I'm going down the rabbit hole ;-(
