Disable all Dependabot updates apart from security ones
Updating Rails and govuk_publishing_components can be particularly onerous. A recent release of govuk_publishing_components v40+ (updating apps to govuk-frontend v5) required updating a number of files, which has proven complex enough for Content Publisher that it was split out of the general card and given its own card. At time of writing, there are four open Dependabot PRs for Content Publisher for ruby, all with failing tests. We believe the risk of changing the dependabot policy for these repos is low. If there were a security risk with a dependency, and if applying it was made more difficult due to us having fallen too far behind, we could either persevere with the patching, or use it as impetus to prioritise retiring the app, or temporarily take the app offline. In any case, usage is so negligible that publisher activity is unlikely to be affected. Disabling non-security updates as per: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-security-updates/configuring-dependabot-security-updates > If you only require security updates and want to exclude version updates, you can set open-pull-requests-limit to 0 in order to prevent version updates for a given package-ecosystem.
