 similar to the geoip update branch once per month for you to merge.  I
 could even do two commits in a single branch if that makes things simpler.
 Let me know what works best.

 That ought to work.  (If a set of fallback directory sources is not going
 to be a good choice for *several* months, it is probably not a good set of
 fallback directory sources after all.)
