Also consider updating the year.
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.
