I would suggest to switch to automatic downloading, and see if anybody experiences any problems. Having to include the DTDs with each time is a pain, and anyway if the DTDs change between Biopython releases, users rely on the download mechanism already.
Best,-Michiel.

 Advance warning of new NCBI DTD files (see below).

While we could add them to Bio/Entrez/DTDs as usual, is the
auto-download mechanism mature enough that we could stop
bundling any NCBI DTD files?

Michiel - what do you think?

Regards,

Peter

The DTD change for the 2016 production year is defined in the Revision
Notes section near the top of the DTD. The following describes the
substantive change to NLMMedlineCitationSet DTD and PubMed XML:
