That has more to do with updating the kernel than BackupMenu, and shows that while KP can be uninstalled, it can cause issues on uninstall (including breaking things) if you don't use it's uninstall app. You can also brick your device by uninstalling KP with HAM or apt-get, requiring a kernel re-flash from a PC to make it right again.
No, I had the bug when restoring 1.3 backup. Never happened on uninstalling KP.

(You know, extras-devel/testing, where you got KP from...)
Part I was referring to was trying to reach as stable as stock gets. To all your stock=unstable, even CSSU devs acknowledge stability as main feature to go after, not bugfixes.

Incompatibility. Remapping keys leads to that. Nokia could fix it on Diablo but the dice were already tossed, expecting devs to include kbd fix was the way to go for some years (just google n900 kp_enter), now suddenly change. Nokia wouldn't. Yet it is the devil for doing similar in 1.3 rollout.

Magical as in: too many to list, yet Copernicus had hard time getting any answer except: so many man you have to jump ship

While possible, I somehow doubt that a kernel patch fixed a leak in a user-world program like hildon-desktop. Far more likely it was a library or a direct change to hildon itself (via CSSU or one of the pre-CSSU releases of changes made by MAG).

I still don't get why you trust the community to change your kernel, but not some user/system apps. It would seem there's far more risk in accepting kernel patches (which are not labeled as stable). It's like trusting your neighbor to change your engine out, but not paint your car. Sounds a little backwards.
+7 days uptime stability was said to be 'very very rare', yet it isn't. Many people get month of uptime with no instability using only KP, so you claiming it is CSSU is either lack of comparison or listing KP as CSSU feature, disingenous at best
