I confirm that I see the mga2 packages in the updates of my MGA RC :(

However, I do not understand why, because AFAI understand the initial
email, I should now be pointing to MGA 1 repos, no longer cauldron one.

$ cat /etc/mageia-release
Mageia release 1 (Cauldron) for x86_64

$ rpm -qa | grep release
mageia-release-Default-1-0.12.mga1
lsb-release-2.0-34.mga1
mageia-release-common-1-0.12.mga1
