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
