Right, but it tracks a lot more repositories than what our updaters do,
so why not take advantage of that.

The point of the Repology updater is to act as a fallback if none of
the other updaters can update a package, e.g., ‘maven-dependency-tree’.
I already mentioned that language-specific updaters usually provide more
accurate and detailed information, so they should be used when possible;
we aren’t losing anything here.
