IMHO, this could be done with a question defaulting to "no" and this is probably completely unrelated to the Blends effort (at least I do not see any connection). >From a Blends perspective I would rather enable pinning to very *specific* versions from snapshot.debian.org because this is something people are asking about from time to time. Considering a scientific software which was used to create a certain result and other versions might have a somehow different result. IMHO this would be a Blend specific thing which requires actual knowledge in this field - but considering backports.org as sources.list entry might be a general users wish as well (you might like it or not from a maintenance point of view).
