Not an unreasonable question. 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. ...
It might be reasonable to merge them when we have something
else to put in the security/errata branches. That way people
aren't doing buildworld's just for a timezone change, but if
they have to do a buildworld anyway then they'll pick up the
latest timezone changes.
Or something along those lines... I guess the opposing issue is
that it might be too much of a hassle to be distracted by MFC's
of minor changes when you're anxious to commit some important
security fix.
