I only looked to backports when I get a warning on the metrics website that my
versions are not recommended. Aside from that, I thought that running LTS on
relays is actually beneficial, to prevent any newly introduced bugs in the
current latest versions from having an impact on the network infrastructure.

I was using them in the past, but then decided not to, as it's adding some
management overhead and also one more potential security weakpoint.
