Does any other programming language actually support IANA zones out of the box? I feel like building in IANA zone support into the language itself is a bad idea, as I think I mentioned in my earlier post. This seems like something that is clearly best handled by third party libraries.
Aside from favoring IANA-style zone specifications (which seems unnecessary, especially given that the way the compiled tzdata represents data somewhat inconsistently with Python's tzinfo approach), the distribution of the data seems like it would be a complete nightmare.
