There were several discussions over the last years. And yes, our vision of backports does not match the vision of those fastpace/not ready for stable/whatever you call them repos. In our vision debian-backports consists of new (tested, as in "is in testing") features from the next debian release. By definition that does not match packages that will not be part of the next debian release.
