When the next scheduled releases come around (February), we'll update
to whatever tzdata is current at that time.

I'm guessing that request came through because Vladimir is actually
affected by the change.

Apparently, you can replace the tzdata file and restart the server per

I think a better way to handle this is to use configure's
--with-system-tzdata and make sure the underlying system's tzdata
packages are up to date.  Then you don't need to worry about Postgres'
tzdata files at all.
