If the affected timestamps all predate 1970, we should be OK as far as
tzdb is concerned, as Wisconsin would still agree with America/Chicago
for timestamps after 1970.
Shanks divides Wisconsin into six distinct regions depending timestamp
histories before 1970. I expect that none of these histories agree with
Chicago's (and I also expect that Shanks' divisions are not completely
accurate, and that there may be more than six regions). Surely this
would be 'backzone' file material at best, though.
