I looked at this
<https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/8ee11a301cf173afb0c76e0315b9f9ec8ebb9d95>
commit, which adjusts some transitions for KZ. After looking closer to
diffs I found out that formats of zones are changed, e.g. for
Asia/Almaty it changed from ALMT to +06. I'm not familiar with TZ files,
but I suppose this changes are the reason of incompatibility for some apps.
