I can related to that.
Note that you can also remove all of that directory and use a TZ setting
using the old convention like 'EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0'.
Also tar+lzip of that directory reduces it for me from 5.1MB to ~143kB.
`libc` doesn't know how to use it once compressed this way, but you could
manually extract the few files you need from it if/when you need them.
