The problem isn't backporting in general, the problem is that in
April/May there has been some major refactoring of webkit code base, and
chromium 5 uses an ancient webkit copy.

Most of the issues fixed in chromium 6.0.472.53 are known for a long
time, but they weren't disclosed because they are unfixable in the
webkit copy of chromium 5.

Why? there isn't any package that uses that webkit copy.

Cheers,
Giuseppe.
