If you "hold" a spell will the "UPDATED" field overide this? Just a question. I have no opinion, though your reasoning is good

I have been making some changes to the spell, every time a major spell like glibc changes I think it should be tested by everyone. I want to know that what I have changed has no bad consequences.
It "needs" to be fully tested before it goes into stable. Sorcery now has a history showing feature so you can view my reasons for wanting the spell checked. You can also remove it from the queue if you don't want to cast it, but it will be put back into the queue unless you manually change the date in /var/state/sorcery/packages. Maybe choosing to remove a spell from the queue should alter the date stamp of that spell in that file too ?
I think my last few changes were removing gettext trigger , adding libiconv trigger removing an "echo" into two alien files that caused "non-portable whitespace" warnings from every spell cast (actually removing the files altogether so make install does install them). If these changes didn't need testing or rebuilding to (un)register triggers then I wouldn't have changed UPDATED.
If you can tell me another way to get spell changes tested by everyone without changing UPDATED then I will use it.

I update my system on average about once a week, once every two weeks as
time permits. I have noticed that EVERY time for the last month, two
months, glibc requires a rebuild. I understand a forced rebuild because
of say a security issue or some other issues. But for most issues just
because of a bug fix in the glibc spell doesn't necessarily mean we need
to rebuild it as well. Can we stop modifying the UPDATED field so much.
Please update it if deamed absolutely necissary. I may be wrong in my
assesment, but the amount I see it is forcing a rebuild just seems
excessive to me.

Btw, yes I have checked to make sure it updated correctly each time by
creating a new queue to make sure it wasn't in there. So it's not that
it the rebuild has failed and the next time I update the previous update
is showing up.
