Just FTR, this is upstream response:

release though. This includes a fix to allow negative daylight
savings time offsets to be derived from zoneinfo files. This sets
the TimezonePeriod#std_offset and TimezonePeriod#utc_offset
attributes correctly when loading zoneinfo time zones that contain
negative DST offsets.
TL;DR rubygem-tzinfo should be compatible with the new tzdata, but I should probably update to the latest version.

Thx for the answer. I opened upstream ticket to doublecheck this:

Hi,
Thank you for your input on this!
As this is now the default format for tzdata, these applications should be fixed to recognize the negative DST offsets.
The concern is that, in some cases, applications that parse the tzdata files were not expecting to find negative DST offsets (negative SAVE values in the data files) despite the fact that POSIX appears to support this.
(NOTE: For f26, f27 and f28, we have provided the rearguard format to continue to support existing applications. This proposal announces the transition to vanguard format, allowing time to update applications in f29.)

Is this going to be backward compatible or not? rubygem-tzinfo is using
tzdata as data source, so I wonder if any action is required.
Yes, it's backward compatible if your application recognizes that tzdata SAVE values/DST's can be negative.
