I understand that. What I don't understand is how upstream accepted
such unofficial information, that even shows uncertainty in the title
and modified tzdata according to that. Last year, I had to wait until
the law was passed and published to get the change accepted.

I agree. Also, I'd like to note that last year, when the law was
passed, it was explicitely said that the government would set the
dates for 2008/2009 as they saw fit, whever they saw appropiate. So,
it should always have been "only". And it should keep being "only",
unless they state that whatever they decide is to be applied in the
future.
