Just check the flight frequencies you intend to use prior to the flight, using the the same method you use now Pooleys/Chart/Skydemon or whatever, as you do now.
For the recent frequency changes around here:
1) They happened on different dates
2) Only one was notified by NOTAM
3) The AIP and Skydemon didn't change for nearly 2 months after one of the changes (and it was a listening squawk frequency, so potentially you didn't know you were listening to nowt)
4) Anyone relying on traditional charts/pooleys/etc would be none the wiser
I see a few potential issues (none world stopping, but potentially irritating)
a) if every frequency change gets notified by NOTAM, then reviewing NOTAMs will be worse than the directory of countries that it's a tad risky to overfly
b) if they are not notified by NOTAM, then how else do you find out about changes until they eventually trickle through to the AIP and printed stuff? Not necessarily an issue for somewhere you are calling for PPR, or an en-route hand-over .... but when you want to make an en-route ATZ transit, diversion, or listening squawk, etc.
