when playing in an established setting I'm inclined never to make signficant changes as part of the narrative of the adventure. .

Some published settings are just presented and that's it, they may develop regions in more detail, but they exist in the moment when campaigns set in them are expected to start.

Others have an ongoing history, new supplements advance the timeline, as well as adding new details.

The latter sort can discourage going off the reservation.

Yes, and its also true that many players retain their characters between different DMS, and even different groups. Some will even return to their character in the advanced timeline.
