   > Not true. I've been updating the actions, as you can see the version is 
current (or should be since I updated them yesterday.)
   
   This means a lot of mechanical work for you, so you have less time to tasks 
that would actually benefit from your expertise. This is the main reason I hate 
Dependabot churn.
   
   > The version checks are quarterly because a person I won't name changed 
them from `weekly` to `quarterly` in all components because "reasons" about 
their mailbox. This is a changes I formally voted -1 but I was told my vote

   I fully support that decision for Maven, but we probably didn't discuss it 
enough for GitHub Actions. These can become deprecated if the GitHub API 
changes or the Node version they use becomes unsupported, so we have to upgrade 
them more often. On the other hand if we upgrade carelessly, GitHub Actions and 
NPM is the heaven of supply-chain attacks.
