This was reverted in:

<https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?h=stable/14&id=06a6d0259fe5721bfb3b745b231ecf7cf3a5e28e>

And the fixed revision hasn't been MFCed.

Here /etc/localtime is a regular file:

$ ls -l /etc/localtime 
-r--r--r--  1 root wheel 2298 May 18 09:41 /etc/localtime

(stable/14-n271501-10d94b403add amd64)
