How come the 2007 is still masked. The new DST for the USA and Australia is
creeping up in a few weeks. March 11th.

The changelog is fairly useless from a 'users' perspective. I have no idea
which one has the required USA DST changes in it...

I don't know.

Looking inside tzdata2006p.tar.gz at the file for North America, the
comments indicate that the new U.S rules were added to the data in
2005, so there shouldn't be any problem.  After untarring, 

$ grep US.*2007 northamerica
Rule    US      2007    max     -       Mar     Sun>=8  2:00    1:00	D
Rule    US      2007    max     -       Nov     Sun>=1  2:00    0	S

Dunno, but it's correct on my system for US/Pacific, which was synced a 
week or so ago:

dtalk@sybil ~ $ zdump -v /etc/localtime |grep 2007
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST isdst=0
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 PDT isdst=1
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59 2007 PDT isdst=1
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00 2007 PST isdst=0

Cheers -d
