The CLDR has this:

So it seems there is a standard mapping of Microsoft Windows time zones 
to the Olsen tz (Zoneinfo) database, but that is isn't up-to-date enough 
for practical use. I guess this is the problem with trying to 
standardize the coupling of two non-standard things (well, one 
proprietary thing with another de facto standard thing).

Yeah, I'm aware of the CLDR data, but as you pointed out, it's not up to 
date. I think they play catch up too, just like us.
