Indeed, the IANA timezone folks changed their entry in tzdata 2019b,
on the strength of this:
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2019-April/027848.html
and other nearby threads in that list archive. 2019b was released
2019-07-02, so any machine with reasonably up-to-date data should
know about this. In the case of Postgres, we absorbed that change
in the August minor releases.
