I really would hate to rush such a major systematic overhaul into production because there's data to be updated.
Likewise. But what's being proposed for this release is not a major systematic overhaul. It's a minor change that, in the past, might not even have prompted a new version number for the data file. (We previously did a similar minor change to the POSIX TZ string's interpretation without changing the version number.) We are considering more-major changes, but most of these have never hit the experimental repository, and the few that did have been reverted.
