Some of us are already maintaing the packages for multiple distro
releases.  For a variety of different reasons...  Using on a different
distro version locally, club, personal tress, etc...  There's probably
not enough time to spend to do it globally, but I'm going to be really
opposed to saying that I can't maintain that backwards compatability in
packages I want it in because it's exceedingly tedious to maintain two
sets of packages when I can maintain one that builds both places.
