I guess you could add/modify the version string on the main menu, to point people to backports.org, or stick it in the README file or whatever. I don't see that as big of a negative compared to getting old bug reports. I don't suppose it is possible to include them both? I say that since I know that 2.0.10 works on systems that 2.1 don't work on, be it because it is running on very low end hardware, and or having some kind of issues with one of the newer libs we use (QuesoGLC or fontconfig or...), but it might be nice to have that as a option. I know that 2.0.10 won't be maintained, but that version of warzone is better than having no warzone right? (Yes, I know that defeats what I wrote above, about the bug reports, but I digress! ;))
