IMO it's great that a copy of the latest leap second file is included in
tzdb.

However, keeping in mind that the leap second file has an expiration
date, maybe a new version of TZDB should also be released whenever this
file has been updated (that would be twice a year).

If I remember correctly a new release of TZDB is only rolled out when
another timezone change has to be propagated, so the leap second file
via TZDB becomes available more or less delayed.
