Comment:
Lib wouldn't stop working. But you need to feed it with some data for it to do something meaningful, of course. It's like what would your image viewer do if there were no images around. geoip-data is a pack of Maxmind's lite databases, as I can see. One may not want to use all of those together, but only one of them. Alternatively one could use paid version of Maxmind's database or any other geoip database provider out there. So, yes, geoip-data may be of use in some cases, but there are also many cases when it is useless or overkill.
