Speaking only for myself, I would gladly welcome such an update. Having a grossly outdated /etc/services is something that I have found rather annoying on more than one occasion, although I've usually solved the problem by just blowing away what is there and bringing in a new one from somewhere else. By making this change, you will save me that pain.
