Asking, because there is a new upstream build (https://www.iana.org/time-zones), and rather critical one to us, who live in Kazakhstan. The clock is to be moved 1 hour back on the 1st of March 2024. The new build of tzdata contains the appropriate rule, thus it is highly anticipated currently.

On the Ubuntu side, we are aware of the update but the person usually
doing the updates has not been able to do it. This is something that we
are planning to address in the next two weeks (regardless of their
availability) although I cannot fully guarantee it at the moment.

Best,
