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 ?
