It is simple, even releasing an update for a particular extension,
trigger the whole manteniance and QA in distributions, and it
unneccesary work , when the system tz is used you have QA and mantain
just one component, the "timezone" package.
jfyi: in a complete distribution, there are only 3 components that has
this highly questionable behaviuor, Evolution, PHP and JAVA all the
other hundred of components do the right thing or at least offer an
option just like the Joe's patch.
my 2 CLP.
