Well unfortunately it is not that simple. The positional deltas are not something you have to update just when satellites are crashing

The satellite orbits are constantly changing due to small gravitational influences and relativistic drag, and more so, the delta of each satellite has no simple relationship to any of the other satellites. Hence, the positional correction tables have to be constantly updated...

I am sorry that would not really help with it, as the server does need to get the table information from somewhere...
