A "backport" is when a critical fix from a new version of software is applied to an old but supported version. Not all operating systems or distributions can manage that workload, but stability and security is important to Red Hat. When Red Hat backports a patch, you benefit from important security updates and bug fixes without the need of upgrading to, and testing, a new version of the software.
