No, I think we should explicitly include instructions in the update 
stream to pull in specific new versions from SM.  That way you'll 
always get the right version for the update level you are at, and it'll 
always come at the right point in the stream.  If you just always pull 
in the latest version you're bound to run into trouble (particularly if 
you're updating an image that hasn't been updated for a while).

These updates should be "fast tracked" into the stream, of course - if 
the maintainer of a base package says that a new version needs to go 
in, we probably don't need a lengthy review process to approve this.
