Enforces security best practices by requiring a minimum age for new dependency releases before they are automatically updated by Dependabot. This practice, known as a "cooldown period," helps mitigate supply chain attacks by allowing time for frequently published malicious packages to be identified.

I am not sure that Maven Central is susceptible to these kinds of attacks. What do others think? |

I agree that this is not strictly needed as in the NPM ecosystem. In addition to what @lprimak mentioned as reasons, note that most exploits are done via NPM's pre-build scripts which is not a thing in the Java world - so such supply-chain attacks are much more difficult. That's what I believe at least. Will be interested to hear opinions of others too. |

Loos like we have a consensus that cool-down period is not necessary for Apache Shiro |
