Yes and you are talking about *different* things than what Denis, Rob and I are referring to.

You want to make it simpler to create the updatesites used for mirroring - great; you can do what you want there (more or less ;)

What we are talking about is *guaranteeing* that Tycho/p2 resolves the same version on each developers/jenkins machine. just using an updatesites does not do that.
Plus we are talking about having an easy way to feed the target platform into eclipse so it can be used for testing/development - feature/updatesites does not do that either.
