Yes, in know.
Envy is not official ubuntu - I never said It were not possible. You can for 
sure backport any version into edgy if you want.

But AFAIK _Ubuntu_ won't DO it, by policy.
They don't  even take new bugfix versions of e.g. Samba: loo at 
http://www.samba.org -
Samba maintainance version 3.0.32
Ubuntu hardy: 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4
Ubuntu hardy-updates: 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7

They implement bug fixes, yes, but they don't include newer versions.
Thats policy.

So what I meant: Sure you can have them available with envy - but that has 
nothing wo do with Ubuntu updates or bug fixes. Envy is unofficial, 
unsupported. Envy says, that you have to uninstall envy if you want to 
dist-upgrade Ubuntu to a newer version.
Know what I mean?

And that's the bad thing in prop drivers like nvidia - Ubuntu can't see what 
caused the bug, and fix it in Intrepid (173/177) - because, as I understand 
their policy, they DON'T take newer versions to an existing release. Ubuntu has 
no rolling release. The driver version will stay at 173/177.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
