What business is it of yours?  As it turns out, NIH is in fact the
source of the canonical timezone database.

At which point I would close the PR and ask the submitter to contact
the appropriate authorities (tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov).

In this particular case, I suspect that the change is already
reflected in the database, but I haven't had time since the last
update to import it into FreeBSD.  I will try to remember to do so
some time this week.
