I don't think you can reasonably describe the system timezone database
as undocumented private data. Plenty of other systems rely on it, as we
used to do.
But I take Tom's point about most users not knowing if their TZ database
is usable or not. Maybe we need a tool (maybe on pgfoundry) that will do
some analysis to find out, if such a thing is possible.
