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?

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.
