Just wanted to add to the list of libraries impacted by this issue. tzdata is a dependency of the timex library, one of the most popular in the elixir ecosystem.

How is timex itself affected? As I understand it, timex reads TZif files and so doesn't need to parse strings like "April" that appear in .zi files but not in TZif files. So, like all TZif readers it should be unaffected by the "April" vs "Apr" vs "Ap" glitch.
