When a list of new / updated / retired IDs has been generated from the latest NCBI RefSeq release, the raw data files need to be synced from the FTP site, and the metadata downloaded from the NCBI datasets API. To this end, having a list of all the IDs that have changed status would be very handy.
Files with lists of IDs with different statuses (e.g. new, updated, whatever other statuses there are) would be fine. From the perspective of the NCBI API pipeline, I just need to know where the file list(s) is/are so I can point my pipeline at it/them.
