Fix version will fix the version of the features in category.xml according
to p2 repos. Eg for each feature in category.xml, it would verify the
feature for the given version is available in the p2 repos (target
platform), and if not, it would suggest a change to make.
This is similar and a slight variation of
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-maven-plugins/blob/master/tycho-plugins/target-platform-utils/src/main/java/org/jboss/tools/tycho/targets/FixVersionsMojo.java
which enables some similar feature for .target file (however it also
replaced 0.0.0, which is not desired here); so it's technically totally
doable.

Tycho has already a version-updater for bundles/features so one for

It's a bit different, as it's about fixing the content of the file. Not
sure we're talking about the same thing here.

Another area I'm currently investigating is creating an update-site of

Nope, SimRel just takes as input the p2 repos and a category.xml to create
a new p2 repo aggregating content. There is nothing else built in the same
reactor.
