Some people update it, some people don't, some people insist on it, some 
say it's noise, some say it should be caught by jcheck, some say it 
should be updated automatically. As I understand it, then we aren't 
strictly required to touch it and that periodically someone runs the 
update copyright header script (in <top>/make/scripts) to update the 
headers in bulk. I'm not sure how often it is run though.
