You might, but I didn't.

My immediate thought looking at this number was not that it should be minimized but that there ought to be a sweet spot range and a number below which it probably shouldn't go and a number above which it shouldn't go.

It's always context-dependent. Take Lisp languages. For Common Lisp, when I see a library that was last released or updated 10 years ago, I'm thinking it's probably as feature-complete as it's ever going to be, and otherwise perfectly fine. Same in case of Emacs Lisp? I'm thinking generations out of date, and has a solid chance of not working anymore. Here, it's a difference between a battle-tested, standardized (ANSI/ISO) platform (CL), vs. fast-evolving one (Emacs).
