 	I can understand for misc/zoneinfo for branches that are
 	not offically supported anymore.  However RELENG_4 is still
 	offically supported.
 
 	Also for misc/zoneinfo to be useful you need hooks in base
 	to prevent the port being overwritten whenever you do a
 	post security installworld.
 
 	Additionally updates to zoneinfo are not reflected in
 	/etc/localtime.  mergemaster needs to be tought to handle
 	this.
