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.
