It depends very much on what you are using the list for, and what changes your copy doesn't have. If you were using the list for setting appropriate scope for cookies, and you missed the change which allowed top-level registrations in the UK (so you can now get foo.uk instead of just foo.co.uk), then the result would be that the owner of foo.uk could not set a cookie for his entire domain in your browser. On the other hand, if you missed the latest batch of gTLD updates, there may be no effect at all, because the fallback rule for cookie scope is that any unknown domain is treated as a single top-level, like .com or .net, and most of the new gTLDs work that way anyway. People are strongly encouraged not to bake static copies of the list into their software.
