Almaz, have you had a chance to look at that patch? It's archived here:

I ask because it looks like we'll need a new tzdb release soon, due to
Samoa's recent decision to discontinue DST:

and I'm hoping that the patch would ameliorate at least some of the
potential compatibility issues mentioned in the alike-since-1970 area.
