Looking at the figures:

  Package       Updates in last    .. of which mass rebuilds
                2½ years
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  unison213         5                  3
  unison227         4                  4
  unison240        12                  3
  unison248[*]     10                  3
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  Total            31
  Total excluding mass rebuilds = 18

Since mass rebuilds would only happen once for the combined package,
the total number of updates over the past 2½ years for a combined
package would have been 21 or 22, well under one update per month.

Rich.

[*] Estimated by assuming that we built every new upstream stable
release when it came out, but didn't have to rebuild between those
releases, except for mass rebuilds.
