We don't have any procedure for updating that file. It comes probably from 
reports of bugs and someone updates. Sending an email to this list is a way 
as well. And if it comes from a trusted source (like nic.fr) we can probably 
speed up the change.

But there's no mechanism in place for distributing the updated file short of a 
new KDE release. And there will be no more large KDE 3.5 releases, and 
probably no more 4.0 releases either. Linux distributors might pick up the 
changes we make if we let them know, so they update their packages (whether 
it applies to old, current or new versions of the distributions, we can't 
really tell).
