i wish there was a somewhat more automatic way to do this. I
understand why /etc/localtime not a link or symlink to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/xxxx, there's bunches of issues, like /usr may be a
different filesystem ...
IMHO, the RPM update of the tzdata should be somehow figuring this out,
maybe digging into /etc/sysconfig/clock for the ZONE setting, then
copying the appropriate zone back over /etc/localtime
but, thats upstream's decision.
