I think you would need to give advice about what minimum version of the LDraw Parts Library they need to be at, effectively saying "These parts need library version 2008-01 or later", rather than saying that they don't need to update their library at all (and actually these parts won't render correctly with a 2008-01 library as they use other primitives that were introduced since then). It is not trivial to determine at what back-level version of the LDraw Parts Library any particular part would be rendered correctly. Far better to advise your users that they must have the version that was in use by the developer at the time they were developed (i.e. 2013-02).
