I expect there will be one more tzdata import this year.  Probably in the=
 next week or so.

I could potentially hold this one off, but one of the timezones in Russia=
 is changing at short notice and we do have a sizeable number of users in=
 Russia.

It sounds like the timezone is changing on 27 December 2020 (argh) but we=
 won't know for sure until next week (argh argh).

Given that tzdata imports are exceedingly trivial, perhaps this is actual=
ly a best-case first import to try out the process?  Happy to coordinate =
with you guys.
