Folks,
I just noticed that there's yet another change to time zones:
http://www.iana.org/time-zones
Can we slide this into the upcoming point release? When would that
be?
Cheers,
David.

Usually, Tom installs the latest timezone data just before each point
release. Updating it each time IANA releases a new one would just be
unnecessary churn, I think.

It's part of the release checklist.
In practice, people who need the latest TZ data shouldn't be relying
on our copy anyway. I think pretty much all distros build with
--with-system-tzdata so that the distros' own updates of tzdata get
picked up automatically by Postgres.

That's a "dangerous" thing to say. All the Windows users out there
have no choice. I'm not sure about Mac, but AFAIK certainly the ones
downloading the binaries will get "our" set of TZ files. That
represents a very non-trival portion of our users.

Well, I'm certainly not suggesting that we shouldn't update those files
whenever we make a release. I'm just pointing out that in many cases,
the OS will provide a copy that's updated on a faster cycle than that.
