+Here is a question I got yesterday, which the proposal solves, but that's not 
+a very common issue and maybe the 0 releases way works with it too :
+
+If we had imported it before mageia 1 was released, we would have had 
+cultivation-9-0.20071217.6.mga1 in mageia 1 (a pre-release).
+
+Then suppose we want to update it to the final 9 release in both cauldron and 
+mageia 1 : we have cultivation-9-1.mga1 in cauldron. But what release should 
+we use in updates for mageia 1 ?
+
+cultivation-9-0.1.mga1 doesn't work because cultivation-9-0.1.mga1 < 
+cultivation-9-0.20071217.6.mga1
+
+Is there a way to do it right with a 0 release ?
+
+Best regards
