Looks like there's no tr content project that uses a local timezone. (so
they're all UTC). The only 2 that use Europe/Istanbul are trwikimedia (a
chapter wiki) and gagwiki. (gag !== tr) If any of the tr wikis want to use
Europe/Istanbul by default they are welcome to propose that locally to their
communities and then file implementation bugs for those changes. But that's
unrelated to the change in offset/DST for Turkey.

It seems that the proposed new (permanent) time is the same offset as the
current offset there and the current tzdata/zoneinfo DB has no DST/offset
transitions until Oct 28. There's a new tzdata package in squeeze from less
than 2 weeks ago which says:

$ zdump -v Europe/Istanbul | egrep 'Oct .* 2012'
Europe/Istanbul  Sun Oct 28 00:59:59 2012 UTC = Sun Oct 28 03:59:59 2012 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Europe/Istanbul  Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Oct 28 03:00:00 2012 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

Anyway, this is not something that can be addressed by developers and requires
no config changes. All we need is updated tzdata packages on all servers (and
before that a decision by the govt and a new tzdata release).

And, now that I've looked, production already has `package {"tzdata": ensure =>
latest; }` globally. (via the base class)

-> WORKSFORME :)
