last time transition disagreed with the TZ string, contrary to
Internet RFC 8563 section 3.3.
+ zic now generates a POSIX-conforming TZ string for TZif files
+ where all-year DST is predicted for the indefinite future.
+ For example, for all-year Eastern Daylight Time, zic now generates

+ noting the possibility of POSIX conformance.)
