I have an old version, which I don't remember or didn't comment where it 
came from, where that line says:

<mapTimezones otherVersion="7e11500" typeVersion="2020a">

So I really expected the later versions to be similarly updated. Hence 
my stupid confusion.
My code tried to match that release line to the TzDb release, and 
failed, causing more side effects and confusion.
