But not in gnulib. When the entire data file is 100 KB, it is not a good compromise to give up correctness for dates in the past, in exchange for further data size reduction. > https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml This file is interesting for its mapping table from Windows time zones.
