That's simply not true. I have WordPress sites I haven't touched in years and they all run auto updates. Sure I guess it's technically avoiding rot by updating

That's simply not true. I have WordPress sites I haven't touched in years and they all run auto updates. Sure I guess it's technically avoiding rot by updating but the fact I don't need to touch it makes the point moot. > Fwiw, and I know this is a nitpick, but anything built purely on open source libraries should be technically buildable forever. Especially if you keep it local (e.g. cached node_modules for npm) Technically isn't very useful when my server needs to update npm/node for security reasons.
