We don't think about updating the year each time we touch a file,
and it would be annoying.

I am not sure the copyright can end at a date if not mentioned.
And I don't think it has already been an issue for any Open Source SW.
I think the most important is to mark the first year.
Personnaly I consider the starting date is enough,
so I never extend the copyright after the original year.

Note: I avoid the usual "IANAL but". Oops just did it ;)
