I should have added that Mickael is correct. If a project does not update
their aggrcon file, that means that they're not contributing anything new
to the release. This is expected behaviour.

The requirement is that you must configure your aggrcon file to point to a
specific version so that builds can be repeatable. This means that you must
update your aggrcon file if your team decides to contribute a new version
of project content to the release. I don't believe that this is a new
requirement.
