So, in principle, updating the copyright might not just entail adding
copyright years but also taking them away. However I still don't understand
what the problem is if the copyright includes years for which the there
are no copyrightable changes.
Clearly I am not going to volunteer to do something that I don't understand. I
think others are also unsure about what is needed.
