Description

Stops bumping AffectedVersionAttribution.lastSeen.

The field / column was introduced at a time where vuln data source mirroring was NOT incremental. It doesn't provide any value outside of manual inspection, but leads to large amounts of UPDATE queries, which can slow down mirroring runs by means of network latency alone.

This change merely deprecates the field and stops bumping it. lastSeen will always be equal to firstSeen until its removal. The corresponding DB column stays around to enable smooth rolling upgrades for users coming from 5.0.x. We'll drop the column in 5.2.

The field / column was introduced at a time where vuln data source mirroring was NOT incremental. It doesn't provide any value outside of manual inspection, but leads to large amounts of `UPDATE` queries, which can slow down mirroring runs by means of network latency alone.

This change merely deprecates the field and stops bumping it. `lastSeen` will always be equal to `firstSeen` until its removal. The corresponding DB column stays around to enable smooth rolling upgrades for users coming from 5.0.x. We'll drop the column in 5.2.
