Because it's not 1990 anymore. There is not really an advantage in artificial delays. If you like the old way, that's fine, but don't try to push your (Fidonet) world view on everybody else.

And it's not only about new nodes, existing entries might also change at any time. I mean we don't update DNS or dynDNS on a weekly basis only and then wait another 7 days to correct the error one accidentally made with the MX record to receive email again.

Daily updates are already slow.
