We will see what happens there. As far as I know most of those changes
have been reverted in the TZDB anyway.
The discussion on 'extended' timezones is still going on ;)
Daylight saving did not start in 1970, but the recent proposed change in tz was
to ignore them to simplify the list of timezones. That has now been reverted,
but how to handle the additional information has not yet been agreed. The tz
dataabse will probably not return pre 1970 date, you will need a different build
of tz to get that. Which is something I think is simply wrong! We have
increasingly accurate pre 1970 data but that requires additional timezone names
which the basic tz database will not support.
