The move was announced widely, including in backports.org itself and the
mailing lists you were strongly urged to subscribe to in the backports.org
terms of service and usage directions.

backports is now an official service and can be found under
backports.debian.org. See [1].
If I missed an announcement somewhere, I apologize, but backports.org is
down and I'd like to know when it will be back up?
Thank you,

Before using the newer udev or kernel from backports.org, hotplug gave
the possibility to disable a driver by putting the driver in the
blacklist of hotplug.
However, with a more recent kernel needing a more recent udev, hotplug
isn't used any more.

I'm considering adding a 2.4.24 kernel from backports.org to my pure
Woody system to get support for my multitude of peripherals and such.
Are there any catches that I should look out for before I go for it?
I noticed that this will also update my initrd package. Is this safe?
