it's just the sheer amount of modified code that worries me a bit. as i wrote in the other email

also, 
1. old backend code e.g. released by somebody privately will not work anymore when dropped into duplicity/backends
2. true, officially switching to 2.6 might be another point, somebody might want to remove the 2.6'isms from the 0.6 branch if they really need duplicity on some oldold distro. supposing we also keep the 2.6 changes only in 0.7 branch.
