What do you think of moving the pages in the tzdb repository into

To be fair, inertia itself is a strong reason....
I wouldn't mind renaming the man pages, though I'd get rid of the
"new" prefixes while we're at it. However, I worry that other
downstream users would be adversely affected. Perhaps others could
chime in.
I don't mind the idea, but we (FreeBSD) would have to rework some of our
tooling. I suspect other non-Linux distributions are similarly
affected.
Thinking out loud: would it make sense to rename the files in the Git
repository, but keep the tarballs flat? I suspect most downstreams
consume the tarballs rather than the Git repository.
