that is a terrible idea. timezone data has a reasonable churn in stable
releases; this package should probably use the data that is already
provided by tzdata, and expose it to Ruby.

actually, looking at the upstream homepage, it says this:

         By default, TZInfo::Data will be used. If TZInfo::Data is not
         available, then TZInfo will search for a zoneinfo directory
         instead.

So we should/could probably not have this package.
