+Strictly speaking, maybe, but the policy says "Things are not set in stone, 
+but we need a policy to move ahead with releasing updates for mga1, and we can 
+refine the process as we find issues/shortcomings.", and I think this is one of 
+the cases where we can allow updates, to ease packager's work. We could add 
+"updates of mageia distribution building tools are allowed to ensure that 
+packagers using stable releases have the same tools than those using cauldron"
+
+What do you think ?
