Hi Ross, Why go through the headache of getting something backported when you can just create a ppa for all supported releases and one just add's a ppa?

I think you're mixing up backports & stable. Stable releases only accept security fixes & small changes. Backports provides a path for selectively providing newer versions of software to stable. It's an opt-in repo. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports (The same is true for Debian.) It shouldn't be too hard to get new backports accepted - the hardest piece is probably finding someone to do the testing.
