I thought it could be usefull to some people without powerfull enough hardware 
who only want regional db extracts.

We search but couldn't find any services, so we went the path to build are own 
workflow to produce them

At least for one database (europe) I operate and one database (France) the 
french community uses for analysis : yes.
That's why we only provide the diffs we need.

ps: note that this is not related at all with new augmented diffs anounced 
recently and only a coincidence. But those "augmented diffs" might be another 
alternative to keep a regional db up to date.
