There is a desire from a number of people to get separate/faster time-zone updates, but it comes down to who will push the updates to maven central, how fast are they expected etc etc.
I'm reluctant to add additional work on my shoulders to maintain a time-zone data jar file, even though its probably a good idea (it will also need code changes to pickup the new data). Nice pom btw to get the data.
