Richard de Vries proposed the following answer:
Hi Manson,

tzdata contains timezone information for all timezones, not just yours.
And yes, it needs to be updated regularly as local rules around the
world change. Also, it contains historical timezone data that is
constantly improved upon. If you're interested in this sort of thing,
there was a good article on BoingBoing a few days ago:
