I expect we'll discover the need for daylight-saving changes in September and
October for later this year, and the leap-second change won't happen until after
that anyway, so my guess is Octoberish. (December at the latest. :-) If you
need to push out something right now please feel free to use what's on GitHub
now; you can combine its leap-second file with the other files of the current tz
release.
