I echo this ETA request. We need to get this patch installed next week. Or at least before 8 March 2013, when all non-patched systems will "fall" back. We also need to let other teams have time to create patches (Apache, PHP, Java, Oracle, etc).

So, the patch above just assumes that the 2012/2013 strategy will continue forwards
Thanks, that sounds like the best guess. I'll soon send out a proposed patch along these lines. Along with this I'll send out some lower-priority patches that have been accumulating. The only other patch worth noting is one that will allow 24:00 as a valid UTC offset in the POSIX string at the end of binary version-2-format time zone files. Formerly, zic limited this to 23:59:59, but the 2008 edition of POSIX changed to allow 24:00 and tzfile.5 specifies POSIX so this will fix zic to match the documented behavior. People who write binary tz file readers may need to adjust them accordingly.
There should be 7 proposed patches total. I've updated the github experimental repository to contain these patches.
