Yes, people using TAI-10 should also be using right/ timezones instead of
posix/ ones. That's why TZ as a test is appealing: it ensures consistency.
But at that level it's entirely the admin's responsibility to have
consistent configuration: leap-second-conscious admins won't mind doing
some extra work to have a setting that pleases them.

Of course, that's what I meant, my bad.
