updates to the Olson database can be installed just as easily as before
(probably through some new custom mechanism, as a new Python bugfix release
is too heavy-handed), I see no problem with adopting pytz into the stdlib.
The mechanism would be exactly the same, but a different modulename.
I´ll go forward and make a PEP on this soonish.
