I'm guessing you haven't actually tried this: ``` > (moment 2000 #:tz "arbitrary string") . . Library/Racket/8.0/pkgs/tzinfo/tzinfo/private/tzfile-parser.rkt:21:0: Cannot find zoneinfo file for [arbitrary string] ``` > The IANA's timezone database changed this month, and gregor's last commit was > 2 years ago. Gregor's repo doesn't contain the IANA tzdb and prefers to rely on the system's zoneinfo files. Every contemporary Unix (including MacOS) ships with this data and updates it with OS updates. Windows is a different story (though I know that in recent years, parts of the Windows ecosystem works with IANA zones, so maybe those files exist somewhere?). You're right that the tzdata package has old data. It would probably make sense for someone who runs Windows to maintain it. It comes with a script that can update the package for a new version of the tzdb. I'll do that right now, in fact.
