As far as i remember it's a chicken-and-egg problem.
PHP is used in many old distros/systems that don't have modern tzdata
and that was a problem, so they bundled it (also cross-operating system
consistent behaviour).
But then the bundled one might be out of date as well, and takes up space :)
IMHO it should be a build-time php option.
