That's not true, the only thing that makes it out of date is because it's a prototype and isn't used. The bibliographic database used in ReSpec is by and large up to date (or up to date enough) because people update references for everyone when they see ones that are outdated for them. We'd get the same (in fact probably more of it) if instead of a painful monolithic JSON file we had a web interface.
