I would definitely be in favor of "nuke it now" with respect to HEAD. It's a bit more debatable for the back branches. However, all branches are going to be equally exposed to updated system tzdata trees, so we've typically felt that changes in the tz-related code should be back-patched.
It seems sensible to me to remove it in master and possibly REL_13_STABLE, but leave it alone in the back branches.
