I'd vote for using timezone-data instead seeing how there have been 
times when timezones change faster than we release glibc updates. Also, 
I really dont understand why timezone info is bundled with glibc...when 
the US Government changed daylight savings, my mind didn't think "Oh, I 
better update glibc then!" Instead, I went looking for a timezone 
module, which is obviously more intuitive ;)

Even if we can keep up with glibc updates now, that doesn't mean we 
always will. That also doesn't guarantee new glibc releases will 
coincide with updated timezone data -- do they even bump versions when 
*only* the timezones change?
