Unfortunately, timezone definition is influenced more by political than natural reasons. So, using tzinfo, which has its own timezone database, separate from the system's database, will introduce yet another thing to maintain. When the US timezone definitions were changed two years ago, we had to patch hundreds of Windows machine and also JRE instances because Sun's JRE used a separate timezone database. This unnecessarily doubled up the maintenance effort. YS.
