Agreed, but I wouldn't know of a simpler way to do it.  In theory you
could do a bisect on all changes of all dependencies until you identify
the change that introduced a breakage on the Gump side, but that's
non-trivial and will likely never happen given the limited development
resources at Gump.

Of course the process is easier for projects with a small transitive
hull of dependencies 8-)

I think you are correct.  Many projects have stopped seeing value in
Gump and only view it as a nuisance (or ignore it), I don't know what to
do about it either.

Another way to get rid of the emails is to remove the nag element from
the Gump descriptor.
