patch in jdk which looked to system tzdata - if they were present,
they were used. If not, the bundled copy was used. Also user could
set up on startup which to use. But it had not prooved itself, as it
was casue of weird missonfigurations.
Please note that we are only talking about tzdata, not tzdata-java.
We do not intend to allow the removal of tzdata-java because OpenJDK depends upon it.
When you say "in-jdk-bundled tzdata" do you mean something other than
tzdata-java?
If this proposal will come live, we may introduce this patch again,
or
leave it as it is now - on human touch.
Could you please expand a bit more on this topic?
