First, consider the case of a filelist associated with a digest mailing
list, with one posting per month. There you do want to get the update
when the mail is sent.
Also, if the routine is not called, there will be an inconsistency
between the actual last-update date of the filelist and that stored in
LISTSERV FILELIST. This is of course not desirable.
I can't propose any technical solution to this problem, only a "common
sense" one: when a new file is made available to the world on this
filelist, the person that does so should send a note to the list to
inform the world about it, rather than play Vogon captain :-)
