The database format has not changed incompatibly in years, so it's a relatively low-risk thing to merge. OTOH, updates are sometimes frequent, particularly during the time of year when governments tend to fiddle their DST adjustments. I would suggest only merging updates if there is a significant user community which is affected by the changes. So if the US Congress finally comes to its senses and repeals the DST change a week before it is scheduled to take effect, then it's worth doing, but when certain South American countries do their seemingly-annual vacillation over DST, I would offer apologies. -GAWollman
