We're going to reduce the amount of time we spend maintaining this app. See commits for details.

⚠️ This repo is Continuously Deployed: make sure you follow the guidance ⚠️

Follow these steps if you are doing a Rails upgrade.

Updating Rails and govuk_publishing_components can be particularly
onerous. A recent release of govuk_publishing_components v40+
(updating apps to govuk-frontend v5) required updating a number of
files, which proved reasonably complex and was not a good use of
developer time.

We believe the risk of changing the dependabot policy for these
repos is low. If there were a security risk with a dependency, and
if applying it was made more difficult due to us having fallen too
far behind, we could either persevere with the patching, or use it
as impetus to prioritise retiring the app, or temporarily take the
app offline. In any case, usage is so negligible that publisher
activity is unlikely to be affected.

Disabling non-security updates as per:
https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-security-updates/configuring-dependabot-security-updates

> If you only require security updates and want to exclude version updates, you can set open-pull-requests-limit to 0 in order to prevent version updates for a given package-ecosystem.
