Apple has pushed out an updated Developer Preview of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

The update’s change log doesn’t give much away, with the only entry giving the impression the update is aimed at allowing developers to download future updates. An update to allow an update? Has Apple been watching Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 debacle?

This update is required to redeem downloads of Mac OS X Lion seed builds from the Mac App Store.

It has been rumored that Apple is hoping to release a Golden Master of Lion to developers sooner rather than later, so we’re guessing this update is paving the way for just that.
