Mozdev only supports adding download files through CVS at this time.

I was referring to <em:updateInfoURL/>.  From re-reading the spec, this is 
probably an optional feature since it is being introduced in Gecko 1.9.

I kinda figured as much; otherwise an extension would continue to bloat over 
time since the developer could never remove update code.

Given that, does there need to be a way to "age out" old updates, or once a 
developer creates an extension, all updates have to be in the update.rdf 
(singular!) until the end of time?
