IERS Bulletin C53 was published on Jan 9 2017 confirming that a June 30 2017 would not be issued. I'm not sure what serves as the upstream data source for this package, but both IEFT and the eggertz tz repo have a leap-seconds.list file that incorporates Bulletin C53. https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/leap-seconds.list Would it be possible to get the package updated to include these more recent files? Some applications make use of the expiration data in this file and will raise exceptions to the user if it has gone stale.
