Thanks for the patch, Paul. I've applied it, but it is not what zone.tab was in 2021a - lots of countries are mapped to America/Port_of_Spain in your patch. Also HR is mapped to Europe/Belgrade. Please see full 2021a and 2021b diff attached. Is it safe to revert zone.tab to what it was in 2021a <https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/3831c591e188edc16d1a6855fb20ebee78c4e27b/z...> ?

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:

I ask because it looks like we'll need a new tzdb release soon, due to Samoa's recent decision to discontinue DST:

and I'm hoping that the patch would ameliorate at least some of the potential compatibility issues mentioned in the alike-since-1970 area.
