+Re-reading the last sentence for the third time, I understood it at last : so 
+you suggest that we start with release 1 in updates and systematically bump 
+release in cauldron when it's the case ? Why not if using release 0 is really 
+a problem. 
+
+By the way, is there a youri-check test that checks that packages in the n-th 
+release don't have a higher version than those in the (n+x)th releases and 
+cauldron ?
+
+Best regards
