Pkg.upgrade_manifest errors if the manifest doesn't need upgrading

Why is this an error rather than a no-op or warning?

Pkg.upgrade_manifest()'

I agree with this, and I am bringing this old post up again, as this still exists on Julia v1.9.0-beta4. This isn’t an error from a user perspective, and the stacktrace seems like internal implementation details that users shouldn’t need to care about in this specific context.
