For a long time I always updated the year in copyright notices when I
changed a file (even still have an emacs extension that asks me if I want to
do it the first time I save a file after loading it), but I recall there was
some sentiment against doing that, so I stopped updating it. Did I
misunderstand the discussion then, and I've been neglecting my duties? Was
it that we shouldn't update the copyright if it was only trivial changes,
otherwise we should?
I still think it's pointless to do when simpy editing an existing file.
This is a new file though.
In fact plenty new files don't actually even add an explicit copyright
statement.
