I was confused by that too.

Keep in mind that dealing with whatever tzdb chooses to ship is not
optional from our standpoint. Even if we'd refused to import 2019a,
every installation using --with-system-tzdata (which, I sincerely hope,
includes most production installs) is going to have to deal with it
as soon as the respective platform vendor gets around to shipping the
tzdata update. So reverting that commit was never on the table.
