No. /releases/galileo won't be updated until 'final daze'. 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Galileo/Final_Daze
(not that it is all that explicit in that document, I just take every 
opportunity to reference it in the hopes that increases it chances of 
being read ... but I've mentioned it in other cross-project posts ... 
obviously buried ... only /releases/staging has all the latest stuff). 

I'm still waiting for someone to support the idea of re-spining teneo and 
pdt for their perceived "stop ship" problems. 
Hmm, I notice dsdm-tm has updated their .build file too! :)

[cross-project-issues-dev] Question about Build ID's

Hi all,

I'm not sure how many other projects do this, but the TM project
embeds its build ID's into the feature description text shown in
the about dialog (via about.mappings).

Now it can happen that a build's contents does not change at all,
but the build ID changes; in the TM case, our 3.1 release is the
same as our RC4, but the build ID is "3.1" rather than "3.1RC4".

I'm wondering how the Galileo Builder treats this. Given that our
plugin and feature ID's have not changed, would the Galileo builder
take our "old" plugins with the "3.1RC4" build ID embedded from
some cache? For some plugins / features, the build ID might even
be MUCH older. 

Or does it fetch fresh data from our update site on every run,
thus ensuring that the latest build ID, "3.1" is embedded?

The stuff on /releases/galileo which I just checked contains a 
mixture of "RC3" and "RC4" build ID's. I'm wondering whether there
is a chance to rectify this... in my understanding, 
/releases/galileo and .../staging are the same at the moment,
so what about doing a clean build of .../staging when PDT and
Teneo are done with their things?
