I think you missed my point. If Mageia 1 "backports" has higher versions than Mageia 2 "release" (not backports), upgrade can fail because currently our tools do not take backports from the target release (mageia 2) into account when upgrading a distro.
In the upgrade from Mandriva 2010.2 to Mageia 1, it was made clear, that upgrading from a system with 2010.2 Backports was not supported. It may work, but was not recommended. I think we should keep the same policy for the upgrade from Mageia 1 to 2. I.E. Don't use backports if you are planning on later doing an upgrade, rather then a clean install. That way, Mageia 1 users who want firefox 13 can get it, without us having to replace the Mageia 2 iso images with an upgraded installer, that will keep backports enabled for 2, if it was enabled for 1.
