Yeah, it sure would be nice if we could just have something run in cron
once a day or so and just update it. Releng has not been good about
running this script often.

Yes, this is definitely something for FESCo.
They made the update policy that uses it.
I can take it to them, I just wanted to see if there was a general sense
that it was useful and we should keep it, or it was pointless and we
should drop it. Perhaps I'll post to devel about it to see what the
general feeling is.
FWIW I certainly think we should keep it. If anything, with the few
folks we currently have who seem to +1 almost any update two seconds
after it lands, we might want to make the barrier a bit higher.
