Good morning,

I do not think it is that simple. The main point is that bpo is not
fire-and-forget. - If you upload you will need to support it. However
that does not imply that bpo must strictly track testing. There can be
reasons to have foo v2 in stable and keep bpo at v3 although v4 is
available in testing. e.g. v4 breaks a huge number of rdeps but v4
doesn't. Or if v4 is at 4.0 and experience shows that a little bit of
extra waiting time before upgrading foo has not hurt in there past.

Imho a bpo maintainer may make judgement calls like these.
