The issue with not updating often enough is that if there is a zero day and you're far enough behind you will be forced to go through the pain of working out how to upgrade to the latest patched version where there may be a painful upgrade path in between

For `updated_at` and `deleted_at` making them nullable and null until touched is incredibly useful.

Answering queries like how many of these were never updated? Or how many of these were never cancelled?

I would apply this to fiction books too. Some people consider reading fiction books a waste of time.

But fiction books too can expand your mind by exploring ideas that may not be possible in non-fiction books or exploring the same ideas but in a way that non-fiction books cannot achieve easily or at all.
