After looking around a bit, I found a news article dated September 8 on the 
topic.  I wonder why the news took so long to be known more broadly?  Anyway, 
attached is a proposed patch to match the many news sources that talk about 
this.  Although I have installed this in the experimental version on github, I 
would prefer confirmation from a more-official source before doing a tzdata release.
