- This was another thing that I should have done in PR 3411 in 2017,
tested that the regex for autocorrecting `desc` stanzas ending in full
stops actually worked. At least I'm getting to it now.
- This was funny (and embarrassing), I was looking at my first contributions to
Homebrew since someone asked me how long I'd been involved.
- Turns out that in 2017 I improved the formula description RuboCop rule to
allow descriptions to end with `etc.` in
https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/3411. Apparently I didn't have time
back then to write a test for it. So now I will remedy this 5 years later.
- As I was looking through the RuboCop configs for
`Naming/MethodParameterName`, since there was a fairly long-standing
TODO here, I found that in the default RuboCop configs the method
names `to` and `io` are
[allowed by default](41a8249b35/config/default.yml (L2794)).
- But we weren't inheriting those allowed names correctly from the
default configuration. This fixes that so that we get future
enhancements automatically for this particular cop allowlist.
Gives information about what is being updated, downloaded, etc. Else the updater is quite silent and it's hard to tell what's going on and when it will complete.

```
% softwareupdate --all --install --force --verbose
