Note that the more thorny issue is this one:

  <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212684>
  <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212970>

The current API follows POSIX and its requirements on hourly offsets,
and tzdata is no longer compatible with the POSIX specification of TZ
rules.

Thanks,
Florian
