Comment (by tag2015):

 > There was a discussion about moving the detection entries to a separate
 data file (as we do for some engine data) to avoid bloating the source
 code and memory with big detection tables. Instead they would be loaded on
 demand. I don't remember any discussion about using a web service. But
 just having a dat file separate from the executable would indeed in theory
 allow updating detections without updating the executable itself (in the
 cases where the new variants do not also require updates to the engine).
 That must be it. I probably mixed the two
