So I think we should define correct behavior of pytz as use with the latest Olson database. Use with an older version would then be a 'bug' subject to being fixed. On Windows, we could update as needed with every bugfix release. (And give instructions for user update.) On other systems, users can do whatever is appropriate. Or perhaps we could add an 'update tz database' function to the module.
Please, don't add updating function to standard lib. It's nightmare for package maintainers.
In general I'm +0 for adding tz database to stdlib.
