Question, after upgrading the kernel, do I have to remove the backports from the sources.list?

Else, I imagine any further software update will use the backports? Is it necessary since I am using a new kernel, or it's optional only if I want newer software?
Backports inherits a default pin priority of 100 whereas the main repo is 500. This means it won't install or replace anything unless you specifically specify the -t bookworm-backports option when you wish to install a package from backports. I think any packages you do install from backports however will be updated if a new version appears in backports (not 100% sure on this, I'll check later).
I keep backports active in sources, never had any issue.
