There are other problems, like the America/Chicago timezone which is notorious for giving false results for years before 1970

Although Matt addressed your other points, I'm curious about this one. In what sense is tzdb's America/Chicago "notorious" for being wrong? I used Google to search for '"America/Chicago" false results' and the only hits I came up with were downstream bugs (e.g., in PHP installation, or in mistaken use of Python primitives), not bugs in tzdb itself.
