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 My original idea was to warn if it was outdated, but since there is no way to check that, I scratched that idea.

Is there really no way to get a 'last updated' time from the site where the database is kept?

Sure, but there is no way to get a last updated time from the database that's installed. And making an HTTP request when you call localize() to check if the database is outdated or not doesn't seem to be a great idea.
