- use the posix-right timezone files

What; not posixly-correct?

I wonder how many of us are old enough to remember what that environment
variable *used* to be called before political correctness became
important.

There are so many layers in that observation that I'm lost.

Was posixly-correct a purposeful pun on politically correct, and I've
missed it all these decades?

Or was it named something else earlier than that, which wasn't itself
politically correct?
