Comment # 17 on bug 1213470 from Martin Schreiner

A final comment here, before I close this ticket.

Martin Schreiner, Fridrich Strba and Danilo Spinella have, collectively,
removed the "timezone-java" package from SLE-15-SP6 and openSUSE Factory.

The rationale applied was the same as has been explained on this ticket:
"timezone-java" is not a requirement, as the JDK itself has its own timezone
data that is refreshed whenever the JDK is upgraded. That is, each upgrade has
the up-to-date timezone data from when it was released.

In the case of SLE <= 15-SP5, even though the "timezone-java" package will
still exist there, the JDK has been recompiled across all code streams to no
longer care about the data provided by "timezone-java". So even though the
package still exists, its contents are never used. We're not removing the
package there as that requires a whole process. But this issue is fixed there
as well, in practice.
