Have you heard anything new about this? We will be issuing a new tzdb release 
soon because of recently-announced changes that take effect in a week or two in 
Northern Cyprus and Sudan, and it'd be nice to get Tonga squared away while 
we're at it.

Last year, Tonga did not announce its decision until October 27 (just ten days' 
notice). If DST was not so popular last year, perhaps we should change tzdb to 
guess that Tonga will not use DST this year either. We can always change it back 
if this new guess is incorrect.
