Actually, that's not a bad idea. My original idea was to warn if it was outdated, but since there is no way to check that, I scratched that idea. But as I have pointed out several times, a database that is shipped with Python is almost guaranteed to be outdated, so yeah, we could just warn all the time. :-)

I like this idea. It gives an incentive to update: Get rid of the annoying warning.

Well, no, it is just silly. If we ship a database, that's because we think it is good enough. A warning is just a nuisance here. We don't display warnings when the installed Python version is too old.
