The spam is reaching ridiculous levels on NumPy forks and throughout
the ecosystem of larger projects on GitHub. And the Dependabot is completely unresponsive,
with a large number of complaints on its issue tracker going back almost
3 years.

Closes gh-18977

OK, let's do this. I rather liked the updates, but if upstream won't deal with the spam we don't have much choice.

I didn't even like the updates, since they're incomplete. Being able to update a *_requirements.txt but then missing that the same update needs to be made in environment.yml, docs, or wherever else arguably makes it worse than receiving no update at all.

Either way, good riddance.
