That was 2 years ago when you asked me ;-) Since then I have been using 
it to backport the brcm80211 mainline drivers to 1) Android kernel, ie. 
3.4 kernel, and 2) Fedora 19 which is actually fixed to 3.11 kernel.

So we use backports these days for enabling brcm80211 drivers on various 
test equipment that uses older kernels.
