Probably, but for most purposes I would guess a 2-year old database is
still good enough? After all, you don't see many people complaining
about the outdated Unicode database that is hard-wired in past Pythons.
In 2011 Ukrainian timezone data was changed twice for year. And perhaps
even change in 2013. Russian timezones were changed over the last few
years and most likely will change in the near future. Correct time is
critical for many applications.
That's what UTC is for! :-)
I think that it would be a good idea to provide a database with the
release plus a tool for updating it, the updates being announced by
email or RSS, and the ability to use the system's database if there's
one.
