IMO, we should be guided by what our users are likely to need. So
providing a stable jessie-backport would be pointless for software that
is in jessie already (people wanting that would just use the jessie
version). But I suspect people deploying clusters based on jessie are
going to need a stable cluster stack, not the latest and greatest thing,
and that we should therefore provide that in a jessie-backports cluster
stack.
