I think a better way to handle this is to use configure's
--with-system-tzdata and make sure the underlying system's tzdata
packages are up to date.  Then you don't need to worry about Postgres'
tzdata files at all.

Yep, both packages for RHEL and Ubuntu are built with 
--with-system-tzdata=/usr/share/zoneinfo configure option so updating system 
package and restarting postgres is sufficient. Thanks!

I'm guessing that request came through because Vladimir is actually
affected by the change.

Apparently, you can replace the tzdata file and restart the server per
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ#Will_PostgreSQL_handle_recent_daylight_saving_time_changes_in_various_countries.3F

When the next scheduled releases come around (February), we'll update
to whatever tzdata is current at that time.
