Because we overlap with / part of / superset of both Med and Science, so
we are part of those blends.  We didn't feel like duplicating anything
from those two blends within yet another blend would be of any benefit
to anyone.  And then we provided on top of what blends do not
provide: repository with backports, VMs etc... may be at some
point things would converge somehow but not yet

yes -- autopkgtest CI is great but doesn't cut it for mass backporting
since we don't even want to upload any package backport to distro X if
we know that it is going to fail there.  Thus package build time
testing is necessary.  and then it would indeed be great to setup a CI
using autopkgtest for all the backports to guarantee that they continue
working as additional backports enter the stage.
