+
+according the policy:
+
+For the most part, an update should consist of a patched build of the
+same version of the package released with the distribution, with a few
+exceptions:
+
+      *     Software versions that are no longer supported upstream with
+        updates (firefox and thunderbird seem to fall into this category
+        these days)
+      *     Software that is version-bound to an online service (games,
+        virus scanners?) and will only work with the latest version.
+      *     We will make exceptions for packages that did not make it
+        into mga1 and are additions to the distribution, provided they
+        do not impact any other packages and can pass full QA.
+
+Updates are not the appropriate place for packages created to satisfy
+certain user's urges for “the latest”. These types of builds belong in
+backports.
