How come?  What situations would you run into that are so urgent about updating
prefix lists that the task can’t be put off for a few hours?

Those of you who have cron jobs doing an automatic pull can be quite surprised
by scenarios like this.

And of *course* you're doing it from a cron job.  Depending on a NOC monkey
to do it every day to pick up newly created prefixes is just *asking* for
trouble tickets to get created when you're not accepting a perfectly valid
but only two week old prefix.....
