With regard to packaging: * Backporting might be simple in some cases, but it might not be possible or uneffective in others. * For some cases, "preventive pushing packages" is a suitable strategy to prevent security risks and bugs, in others this is not applicable. * In some cases deliberately breaking SONAMEs is a tolerable policy, in others it is not. * Some distributions are suitable for some use-cases, but are not in others. ...
