Declining this one — not superseded. The floor stays at PyYAML >= 6.0, < 7.

Checked against GitHub's advisory database before deciding: no advisory touches PyYAML above 5.4, and this project's floor is already 6.0. So the raise fixes nothing here.

That matters because it isn't free. PyYAML is a runtime dependency, so raising its floor narrows what a user may install, and under docs/design/deprecation-policy.md § Dependency floors that is a breaking change owed an announcement. Paying that for no security or functional gain is a cost with no return.

Nothing is wrong with the proposal — versioning-strategy: increase is set deliberately, and it raises the lower bound on every in-range release whether or not the raise buys anything. Surfacing the decision is the config working; this is the decision.

Sibling proposals #208, #211 and #212 were taken and shipped in #221#211 was the one that mattered, clearing a HIGH and a MODERATE advisory in build-system.requires. Full reasoning there.

Reopen if an advisory later lands in the allowed range.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
