Just the last question. What happens if you upgrade to the for example , 2025Q3 release and some packages do not work, can I return back all the installed packages to 2025Q2 or backwards upgrade is not supported?

It's not supported but it might work. If you have any packages that were superseded upgrades then the chances are significantly lower.

Basically you get to keep both pieces if it breaks. I'd strongly recommend just using standard tools instead e.g. tar up your prefix and pkgdb as a backup.
