Items which the user has edited shouldn't get updated automatically.

The user might have changed one of a group of items so that the whole
group is to his satisfaction - automatic update of one of the other items
in the group might not then be appropriate. It wouldn't necessarily be
easy to pre-define groups which the user might mentally create, so I think
that the only satisfactory solution is probably to warn the user.
