Beginning this year, Ukraine is switching to year-round DST and will

How would Arch Linux handle it for the users who do not have NTP
configured? Would Arch somehow know not to switch the clock this year or
should zoneinfo file for Kiev be updated to reflect this change and
to avoid users' clocks being skewed?
It looks like there's a fix to the tzdata package in the works to deal
with this:

So presumably, once that fix gets released upstream, Arch would pick it
up soon after.
