In my humble opinion it is up to the TZ coordinator to determine what to do about the details of the Olson database. Restricted by the following:

The Role of the Designated Expert" Designated experts are expected to be able to defend their decisions to the IETF community, and the evaluation process is not intended to be secretive or bestow unquestioned power on the expert. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5226#section-3.3 "3.3. Designated Expert Reviews" A designated expert must respond in a timely fashion, normally within a week for simple requests to a few weeks for more complex ones. Unreasonable delays can cause significant problems for those needing assignments, such as when products need code points to ship. -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/
