I'm not sure I find the logic of the "but the system-provided data will become stale" arguments convincing; systems which are left unmaintained by the administrators will have old versions of software on; that's a given. I can't see why adding *more* packages (PECL timezonedb) which those admins have to keep up-to-date will make any difference to that.
I think the point is not so much that the system provided one will become stale, but more that it impossible to write portable applications when relying on the system provided one. regards, Lukas
