There's a reason that zoneinfo's rule name is "Arg". Anyway, the rule 
addition proposed is:

Rule	Arg	2007	only	-	Dec	30	0:00	1:00	S
Rule	Arg	2008	max	-	Mar	Sun>=15	0:00	0	-
Rule	Arg	2008	max	-	Oct	Sun>=1	0:00	1:00	S

if you want to patch it yourself. If you think nobody will notice on 
Sunday, nobody will expect it to be right on Monday, and nobody will care 
on Tuesday, you should be able to get the official release by Wednesday.
