[oe] adding an updated package, and when it's safe to do so?

  a couple silly questions while i prep a guile package update.

1) if a newer package is added under recipes, i'm assuming that it's
the newest version of the package that will be used for a build,
unless a PREFERRED_VERSION directive is used, correct?

2) at what point can i start to add that new package info so that a
current build doesn't pick it up?  once all the .bb files are parsed
and the package builds are underway, is that it for any further
consultation of the .bb files?
