It was a huge problem for me with parolottero.

To the point that to have it in stable I had to split the game and data files 
in 2 different source repositories, and had to make the game able to check the 
website and download the data files from inside the game itself, into the 
user's home.

Which is sub-optimal because they will never be automatically removed or 
updated.

While I understand that it was not a problem for everyone and in most cases, 
it was a problem for me. And adding a new language to the game would mean 
blocking minor fixes for several months to the already accepted languages.

BTW the game doesn't ship with a US english word list because of the awful 
license that one has. I get them from firefox [1] so presumably they are 
already quite well vetted.
