For what it's worth, this particular situation is not new in tzdata. For
example, Europe/Kiev has a transition from +03 (without DST) to +02 (with DST)
on 1941-09-19 at 24:00, which means that timestamps that day between 23:00 and
24:00 are ambiguous in Kiev. This transition has been present since the release
of tzdata 1999j two decades ago. I'm sure there are other examples.
