I try to reflect it all in the README and then create a file in my git tree
called cant-update with the reason in there.

Then, when I'm perusing repology for updates, I can run git status and see
which ones I can skip (after I got to over 25 that couldn't be updated, I
couldn't remember all without checking READMEs, which slows down the
process).

I'm currently at 41 that I documented are stuck on older versions using the
cant-update method (although, there are others that I could always remember
and didn't add the file), most due to needing a newer python.
