Responses on the mailing list indicate that use of 24:00 in timezone
source files is the way to go where appropriate. The question now is:
where is where?
There are four places currently using a "lastFri 0:00" rule for the
start of DST now and into the future:

We've seen a report that Jordan should really be "...Mar lastThu
24:00..." What of the other three areas? (Alas, Egypt is the only one of
the three where a look at old newspapers might help.)
