I would like to suggest a slight change in plan for shipping these updates based on 2 usage cases: * Case 1 - A user or organisation who wants to update to PIM 16.12.3, who is happy to add the backports ppa, and is happy to receive further updates/backports of other applications (Plasma, apps, FW. digikam, krita) though the normal backports ppa. * Case 2 - A user or organisation who wants in the majority to use the default Zesty, but is missing the update to PIM 16.12.3 and would like to add just this. Case 1 is obviously served by adding the normal backports ppa and leaving that enabled. Case 2 could be served initially by the normal backports ppa, as long as the user is instructed to and remembers to disable the ppa after updating. However, they would: (a) not get any bugfixes to 16.12.3 PIM should we find the need to push those (security updates etc), and; (b) in the case of someone installing Zesty afresh in a few months or weeks time, when we may have pushed additional packages to backports, it would be difficult for such a user to just get the PIM update they want and nothing else. Therefore to serve Case 2 I would suggest that we make a separate ppa (say backports-pim) for zesty and copy just PIM to that, in addition to having it in the normal backports ppa as well.
