In my opinion, the better solution would be to have more backports in the stable release because people are mostly unhappy with outdated apps and not with outdated essential core components.
This would probably not even require a policy change in Debian. But it requires a lot of people with a lot of free time willing to do a lot of work. Firefox and Chromium show that this can be a lot of pain. Regards Stephan
