Most people did know that backports is/was in Jessie, but I think not many people did know about this bug. People don´t search for bugs when they don't have a problem with something... Now there is no time for a discussion anymore! And this was not a RC-bug. >> In my opinion it's very good when backports is default in sources.list. > > My opinion is that I don't want to push ticking time bombs into the hands > of our users. And that's exactly what defaulting to enabling backports > was. I always enable backports on all machines I am responsible for, because I use that repository. Are all machines with backports enabled ticking timebombs? No, but you have to know what you do.
