No, every update does not require a donation.  In fact, very little of  
what goes on on the database requires my intervention at all.
Only new maintainers and a few other bits of administrivia require  
that.  Right now I am very busy and do not have time to deal with  
things at the speed required by some people.   As I have always said,  
"if you require immediate support I recommend the very fine RADB  
service run by Merit."
