The lookup database is incredibly small and updated very infrequently. Certainly smaller and less frequent than tzinfo which is also included in the kernel

- labawi 7y agoAFAICT leap seconds are announced about 6 months in advance (January/June). How would you process times that are to occur after a leap second that may or may not be? You could store something as '2022-02-02 02:22:22 UTC', but try storing it as seconds since epoch, if you don't know if there will be leap seconds. Not to mention software that may be years or decades old.
