Yes, and it's time to take the next step in deprecating yearistype, by issuing warnings when people try to use it, rather than merely documenting that it's deprecated. A proposed patch is attached.
Also, due to this 2016-09-06 commit:
https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/6d70edaaf149e35ebb6d9107b216519debcc7f11
zic now chdirs to its destination directory, which means 'zic -y ./yearistype' no longer works unless yearistype is in the destination directory. I expect that nobody has reported the issue because nobody uses yearistype any more.
Thanks. Kees
