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Having a grossly outdated /etc/services is something that I have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.
But I speak only for myself.
