If he/she has the "previous ones" to compare, why does
he/she have to generate them?

They are surely used as well as the other maps
(e.g. Uni2JIS) which can never be re-generated if the source
internet sites are gone.

I think it is a nuisance to prepare for such a disaster.
But, if we are going to do that, as such a disaster will
happen on any other internet sites, we should have a program
to re-generate all charsets (and perhaps all uni-*.el).
