Yes, we should be fine with that.

It's sort of a mixed blessing like the 1911 Britannica stuff, isn't
it?

Perhaps it would be best to add them slowly, perhaps in an automated
fashion, but maybe a few per day, so that we have time to absorb them.
It should be pretty easy for people to go through and update them to a
certain extent.  And some of that information, perhaps the bulk of it,
is going to be pretty valid even today.
