> The 20 most-changed files in the last year. The file at the top is almost always the one people warn me about. “Oh yeah, that file. Everyone’s afraid to touch it.”

Definitely not in my experience. The most changed are the change logs, files with version numbers and readmes. I don't think anyone is afraid of keeping those up to date.
