Hello Vijay,

I took 2/3 and 3/3 in this series and they should merge shortly.

For this tzdata,tzcode-native upgrade, I'm looking into it because the
changes in tzcode-native are not trivial and should be carefully
evaluated. My current thinking is that we need to split tzcode-native
and tzdata but this is not easy because, right now, they each need each
other to build.

I've started to look at what other distros are doing: For example,
Debian uses the tzcode vendored in GNU libc[0].

It early for me in my thinking about how to handle this, I'm open to
ideas/patches!
