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?

If the answer is that (temporarily) dev and release will both
be the same (i.e., b134b), that would make sense, and combined
with the resources argument, answer the OP's original question.

why not reallocate resources?
Far too complicated to answer in an email.

Fair enough. Thanks for taking the time to answer what may
seem to you to be trivial questions...
