Some updates would literally sit in testing forever (well, until EOL) if that
rule is enforced. So I don't think this is a good idea to have as a
requirement. It could be useful as a "SHOULD" type guideline though (but
whether independent testing makes sense really depends on what the update is
supposed to fix).
