What's the policy on keeping the source code up to date? Does the data change too often to bother except just before a release?Yea, probably.
There's nothing magical about the files, is there? A user should be able to plug in a zic-compiled zone file from just about anywhere if they really need it, without having to update postgres, or I have badly misunderstood how we handle things. Of course, your OS might not come with such things (e.g. Windows), but it should not be a very big deal to obtain the file.
