The current tzdb release (2018e) already has North Korea using the same time as South Korea, so tzdb is already synchronized reasonably well.
Doesn't the 2018e release have the original update for Asia/Pyongyang (offset changed at 00:00 on 2018-05-05) but not the later correction (offset changed at 23:30 2018-05-04)?
That's correct, and is why Paul said tzdb is synchronized "reasonably well" and not "perfectly". Since the delta is in the past now, though, it's considered a change to past time stamps, which is not generally considered as urgent for cutting a new release. It will likely wait until we have more pressing/timely changes to make for the next version. -- Tim Parenti
