Since zone.tab is present only for compatibility reasons, it makes sense to revert the changes to it. Proposed patch attached.
Almaz, have you had a chance to look at that patch? It's archived here: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2021-September/030388.html I ask because it looks like we'll need a new tzdb release soon, due to Samoa's recent decision to discontinue DST: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2021-September/030398.html and I'm hoping that the patch would ameliorate at least some of the potential compatibility issues mentioned in the alike-since-1970 area.
