[tz] Pyongyang Time transition plan announced

[Phake Nick]

They might have few computers, but report claims there are millions of
smartphone in the country, although they're connected to an intranet
instead of internet. Not sure how those phones are going to receive updates.
And as the changes is clearly a political one, we should probably be
grateful that they aren't going to implement the change immediately nor on
the next day after the announcement
