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.  So if the US Congress
finally comes to its senses and repeals the DST change a week before
it is scheduled to take effect, then it's worth doing, but when
certain South American countries do their seemingly-annual vacillation
over DST, I would offer apologies.
