I disagree on this order, at least for Linux systems. the tzdata database is
well managed on major Linux distributions and should be used for this reason.
The order exists this way to allow for customization. If I have 1)
downloaded the most recent, or 2) made customizations (for whatever
reason) then Python needs to use it.
Can I break stuff this way? Sure. Is it Python's responsibility to
stop me? Nope. Consenting adults, and all that.
