Has there been any update/activity in this regard? This was an excellent idea!
Yes it is. Only issues I see is for packages that build for container apps that need a specific version, not the latest upstream. There is also the issue of packages that don't change regardless of version, like those that set a hardware flag or configuration or the like.
If those issues can be handled to not incorrectly flag packages out of date, then the automated checker would be great. On the other hand, if it incorrectly flags packages, then it creates more problems than it solves.
