The definition of atom:updated indicates that the blog post was updated
in a way that the publisher considers significant, and further goes on
to state that not all modifications necessarily result in a changed
atom:updated value. [1]
That being said, it may be the case that you want to instruct Venus to
ignore 'updated' values in a specific feed, or in all feeds. Simply add
the following to either the section for the specific feed, or to the
[planet] section if you want it to apply to all feeds:
ignore_in_feed: updated
For more information, see the overrides information in the Venus
documentation[2].
