Did we change any of our dependency versions such that we'd have a
more recent copyright for them even if they had updated this year?

The date range on our notice is def wrong though. If we get a fix in
now we could start a 72hr window today and have a release sunday. On
the plus side, not a problem we'll hit again for 9 months! ;)

Yeah, sounds like a docs bug. Git tags are mutable, so I prefer not
referencing them in the RC and just sticking with a commit hash.
