Another serious concern regarding staleness is that bots might war with each other over the correct hyphenation. We might be able to prevent staleness being a serious problem by having a safe mode where existing hyphenation is not overwritten if the installed library data is stale. This could be determined by doing a HEAD request on the source data URL, and comparing it with a date sensitive part of the external library. This would need to be done even if the source data was packaged as part of pywikibot, otherwise we've not solved the problem as someone could be running an old version of pywikibot, with old data. If none of the external libraries are interested in solving the staleness problem properly, we could fork an existing library to add staleness detection.
