Thoughts that immediately come to mind are: - We have no control over the release cycle of tzdata. The update to https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/tree/master/extern/icu/tzdata seems to be manual at the moment. - Looking at the update history over at https://github.com/unicode-org/icu-data/tree/master/tzdata/icunew there can be up to 10 changes per year. - The changes will, in all probability, more than 99% of the time, have no relevance for over 99% of our users. But can one take the risk of ignoring them? - Even if we can provide timely, automated updates how will a server installation know to look for them? A task scheduler of some sort would need to check. We don't have one built in to Firebird so it would mean adding something platform specific.
