Intelligence Summary
GitHub is adjusting Dependabot behavior by introducing a three-day cooldown before it opens pull requests. This change aims to give maintainers more time to address dependency and workflow changes safely. PyPI is also tightening release hygiene by rejecting file uploads to older releases after 14 days. The combined policies are intended to reduce the chance of late or unexpected package modifications. Maintainers should review their dependency update workflows and consider how quickly they publish and backfill releases.
