--- Comment #1 from samm@os2.kiev.ua ---
Honestly, i dont see any needs for this change, so probably i wont support =
it.
My arguments:

1. drivedb.h is updated frequently, sometime much more often then once a mo=
nth.
I don`t see any point to open PR for every drivedb update, sometime it take=
s a
long (weeks or months) to get reaction on already opened PRs, etc.

2. It will multiply number of efforts and will give no benefits for the use=
rs
at all.

3. If port is reinstalled - user can just update db again if needed. You can
add notice about that in the port install message. However i dont think that
its really needed - for most of the users there is no real need to update D=
B if
it already contains his products. And if not - its just a single shell scri=
pt
to run, what could be easier.
