I see "Any updates?" as a quick check-in, like a little heartbeat signal. It can help people see if there's any movement and maybe share their own ideas or workarounds. I know it can bug the folks who keep things runnin, but if we shut those questions down completly, fewer people might chime in and help out.
Plus, trying to force everyone to be super polite all the time can actually make things feel a bit fake. Instead of thinking "Any updates?" is someone demanding stuff, I see it more like, "Hey, I'm looking at this problem and not sure what to do next – anyone got a clue?" That way, it feels more like people are genuinely trying to help each other out, even if they prefer spaces over tabs.
