There's trivial packages which simply don't really need touching. I just
updated congruity for the first time in a couple of months. it got a
(very trivial) upstream release; upstream could easily have held off and
I'd have had absolutely no reason to touch it. it's a simple package
that just does what it's supposed to do, it doesn't need much TLC. I
wouldn't want to be considered 'unresponsive' just because it hadn't
needed touching for an arbitrary period.
