I suggest the following one-line comment change to the systemv file, the
next time it gets published.  It addresses two issues.  First, the
"before" in the old comment is backwards, as the US DST changes occurred
after (not before) the old System V rules were written.
Second, we now have two sets of US changes (1987 and 2007), not one, so
the comment shouldn't imply that the 1987 changes were the only ones.
