IMHO yes. Consider making it built-time enable-able via configure
switches (e.g. --with-tz-updater={yes,no})

It's a possiblity.

Perhaps it's too early to tell. Is the code available somewhere at this
point and would there be a commitment (from IBM) to keeping it
maintained? I.e. is this a one-time code-drop or a long-term
commitment?

Depending on the size of this, it may warrant a JEP.
