 ## Backporting Policy
 
-Mainly critical issue fixes are backported to the most recent minor release.
+Some important security and critical bug fixes might be backported to the most recent minor release, but this 
+depends on necessity, impact, and the maintainers' discretion. If you think an issue should be backported, please feel free to reach out and raise your concerns or needs in the Slack channel or via a Community meeting. 
 Special backport requests can be discussed during the weekly Community meeting or via Slack channel;
 this does not guarantee an exceptional backport will be created.
