Personally, I'd rather have a separate file that just needs to be 
downloaded and copied over. I dislike anything that's got a high PITA-factor.

That said, barring any more Balkan shooting wars, I sincerely doubt 
you'll see another database change as convoluted as this one. The 
real problem here was not just Montenegro getting its own prefix but 
also the fact that two of its previous prefixes were reverting back 
to Serbia, and two entire Serbian prefixes were disappearing completely.
