Oh yes, please, I have the feeling that all I'm updating lately are
these dictionaries ;)

I think for texmf the errata method is OK, after all it's one of the

allow the maintainer to be able to follow closer the texlive updates
instead of holding back updates because updates punish more than they
help.
