Interesting debate, updates as a product viability signal.
I can see the angle as a developer that there isn't anything new this week/month/quarter in the software. And I can see the user angle that if it hasn't been updated perhaps updates are no longer available.
That makes me wonder if an update that says the software continues to be in good shape (a non-update update) would assuage the user. Something like that could be automated and so not impact the developer.
