Yes, Russian government did change it's timezone settings regarding
Summer/Spring +/-1h switch. It should not create any other problems.

And whoever needs the updated package should grab it from the /cr/ repo
(or , in simpler words, use the /cr/ repo) .
I really see no reason to change the policy of updates because of this
package.

Think of the horrible time management mess in heterogeneous systems
across two continents, where CentOS 6 without CR enabled by default is
combined with CentOS 5 (which has already received this update) and
other distributions.
If it doesn't affect your personal machines, it doesn't mean that it
doesn't affect hundreds of thousands of other servers. Anyway, it's too
late now, by this time most would cherry-pick this update from CR...

Yeah, I was thinking about upstream clone policy after posting.
Maybe it could find it's way into Extras repo? That should keep it
policy safe and make sure that time zone on systems from other parts of
the world have correct time in Russia.

Given the figures that you have mentioned, I suspect that my "personal"
machines are in the same order of magnitude as yours. And they also span
several continents.
And we have a clear policy regarding updates. Including pushing
"emergency fixes" to those that need it.But our policy does not mandate
changes in the distro policy, it gets adapted according to it.

Yes, it's not only tzdata that requires attention. At least PHP and Java
packages are urging for some care as well.
But the tzdata is the package with most impact, it may be pushed into
extras, as said before.
Please, push tzdata update from CR into main 6.0 repo.
