The current system as it stands right now is open submission of information. Submissions get catagorized by aircraft type and then stored until that type is updated. At that point information is verified as much as possible. Some information might sit for awhile while others is processed immediately. There is no overall scheme to this and aircraft are updated for the most part at random or when sufficient information warrants it.
