Hello, I am not convinced that this is a good idea.

   1.) ideally the upstream RIR’s are different for different regions.

   2.) while the RIR’s are usually reliable data providers, it happened to me
in the past few years of using the ipdtools that the updating failed (for
example, see this issue: https://github.com/cyclaero/ipdb/issues/1).

   3.) why make easy things complicated? What’s wrong with the cron job, which
I suggested in the man file - s.: https://cyclaero.github.io/ipdb/#cronjob

   4.) I cannot find it written somewhere, but in my head the perhaps un
written policy of the daily, weekly and monthly scripts is that it should not
involve stuff from upstream - perhaps somebody more proficient in *nix system
administration may want to vote in on this.

All said above dowe not mean „NO". Only, I want to see some better reasoning
for the change.
