This bullet point seeks to make a broader point about the need for compelling reasons for importing newer versions of 3rd party software beyond just a version bump. However, the license policy for source is not an ideal place to make this point and it can be read as requiring core to validate updates to any GPLv3 software in ports due to the surrounding context.
