I don't think you are being paranoid and that your suggestion to let the distros handle the distribution is absolutely appropriate. A potential point of contention comes when some open source based distributions with limited resources have to find means of hosting data such as this in efficient means due to their much more finite resources. Judging by a lot of the discussions that have been made through the past day on this subject it appears we have seen some concerns raised about pulling rug out from underneath at least one distribution, suggestions to look at extending protocols and many useful clarifications with regards to ownership, stewardship, and responsibility of the LSL. I think it will require several pieces of work in parallel to avoid negative outcomes. It make sense for those interested in seeing an enhancement to TZDIST to explore the work to include this data (and I would be happy to help where I can, despite being unfamiliar with the standard) and at the same time the distributions dependant on the IETF's hosting of LSL work with the IETF to consider moving away from depending on it in a way that minimises any loss of service, and improves things for their users.
