The thing is that we want IANA to perform further updates on their own,
and the instructions in the "IANA Considerations" section are intended
to be one way: if the registry changes, update the module so and so. It
would become more complicated if IANA was expected to figure out what
changes had already been applied to the module.

But I guess it also depends on the character of the changes. For
example, adding new enums that are not in the registry should certainly
be avoided.
