Review Comment:
   > Today we only update this right after releases - 
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/contributor-docs/release-guide.md#update-the-java-bom
 - this is somewhat intentional since BOM upgrades tend to be:
   > 
   > 1. Higher risk
   > 2. Lower urgency (rarely are features blocked on this)
   > 
   > I think we probably want to keep this behavior.

   I knew about the timing, but if I understand the flow of things some package 
versions that have vulnerabilities are dependent on this BOM being updated. So 
the main drivers for this workflow are consistently having a weekly upgrade to 
minimize vulnerabilities, having a process in place so that we don't forget to 
do the upgrade, and having a workflow if we wanted to at any given point in 
time just run it and have a new PR ready to go without having to do anything 
locally. 
   
   I will go in the direction you suggest below, but I think in the future we 
should consider completing this upgrade more often.

   > At that point, we'd need to:

https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/63bcd3dd2b5d54261de386ad388e2d576913e525/.github/workflows/update_python_dependencies.yml#L87
   >     to this file
   > 2. Update the release guide to have instructions similar to 
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/contributor-docs/release-guide.md#update-python-dependencies
   
   Ok, updated. Thanks.
