Hello -

I recently filed a GitHub issue against the perl DateTime::TimeZone
library, which uses your database:
https://github.com/houseabsolute/DateTime-TimeZone/issues/58#issue-2864445920


I noticed that EST5EDT now resolves to America/New_York. This is
problematic because the two do not have the same offset - EST5EDT is -5:00
and America/New_York is -04:56:02.

My ticket was closed because the behavior appears to be caused by changes
in your database in commit a0b09c0 (
https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/a0b09c0230089252acf2eb0f1ba922e99f7f4a03
).

Is this something that you would consider changing?

Thanks!
- Austin Hill
