The situation is even worse if you consider your older projects. anything that changes automatically via an on line system could be a total disaster to a project.
While I am fairly open to an online resource where I can browse and find parts and modules and place them in my own libraries, it is total folly to have an such a system update anything you are using or HAVE used. It would be all to easy to end up with a board that at one time went to production without any problems to one that failed. It could be something so simple such as you changing some pad settings on a module to comply with your PCB house, and later because an update has happened, those settings have been wiped. It could be argued that if you change such settings then you should perhaps make a copy of the mod under a different name, but I don't think too many people would do that. The only way that anything should be updated is at the request of the user. It is far too dangerous to have a popup saying do you want xyz updated.
