Fixes to address comments from users and maintainers on Renvoate bot.
renovatebot/renovate#35165 I think this is key. We reference reccomended presets but I think some of those generate behaviors that are undesirable to OIE.
This PR was done by human hands and eyes, no clankers. I read https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/ and took the comments from maintainers and users in Discord.
Grouping is working but there is some bad pattern matching. It uses
group:packagestyle naming and some patterns hadorg.foo.bar*and did not group, but the ones withorg.foo.bar:*did groupThe all-minor-and-patch rule needs to go. Theres like 50 packages in there. Thats not what we want. It bundles all those minor updates into one massive set. Pauls clanker called this out as non-blocking in PR #358 but I think it is a problem. Thats one big-big PR.
I can do days, but I do not think I can distinguish between security updates and other updates. This PR sets it to 14 days. I think security always gets pushed. See next topic.
We have this. Its set to 10, but per Renvoate docs:
The batch from PR #358 was entirely security updates. Renovate has many held updates that are non-security. These are visible at https://developer.mend.io/
Screenshot shows the ugly

all-minor-and-patchbehavior. It also shows groups working for non-security updates.
