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.
Not seeing any obvious man[1358] references in Linux distro RPM specs/builds:
presumably rely on man-pages.
Gentoo reported https://bugs.gentoo.org/920035 sys-libs/timezone-data: installs
man3 manpages without corresponding libraries.
Some BSDs seem to customize utilities and man pages (or use old releases) based
on online man pages.
What about updating glibc/manual/time.texi, and are any (non-info) docs or man
pages generated from that in any distro or downstream?
