	Speaking only for myself, I would gladly welcome such an update. 
Having a grossly outdated /etc/services is something that I have 
found rather annoying on more than one occasion, although I've 
usually solved the problem by just blowing away what is there and 
bringing in a new one from somewhere else.  By making this change, 
you will save me that pain.

	But I speak only for myself.
