I hope the binaries archive containing ""pgsql/share/postgresql/
timezone/Europe/Moscow" uploaded at
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgbindownload will
also get corrected.

It would break timezone reporting for historical Moscow timestamps, ie

The column storing datetime is of type "timestamp" and timezone is not
being stored. So should not be an issue for this particular use-case. For
"timestamp with time zone" that was definitely an issue.
By the way won't that be issue anyways once the Moscow timezone is
corrected in upgraded postgres version?
