I want to add that there's still hope that the timezone stuff in  
-current gets updated soonish (which means we don't need tzdata in f8,  
as 7.1 will not switch to f8 by default as it would 1. violate POLA  
and 2. does not have the necessary emulation stuff to be compatible  
with 2.6.16).

Bye,
Alexander.
