I am not sure what " Why would you want to do that ?" refer to.

Why would you want to update b134 to 2010.03, and would
it even be possible (e.g., from the dev repository)?

I suspect the answer will be something like "2010.03 will actually
be something like b134b for image-update purposes, so you could
either do a scratch install of 2010.03 or an update to b134b
with (hopefully) the same result".

The question then devolves to: will 2010.03/b134b be update-able
from the dev repository? If not, what would motivate someone to
switch the publisher from dev to release, do an image-update,
and then switch back to dev in order to image-update to b135
(or b140, or whatever comes next), even if this would work?

My guess is that the 2010.03 bits will show up in both
release and dev, but the operative word is guess.

Yes, as long as the versions move upward, you can always upgrade
from repo to repo.  We do this all the time to run nightly
kernel bits w/ bi-weekly other components.
