So they missed the August update and didn't actually release the updates
until September! 

The Cygwin tz mapping appears to have three upstreams: tz which is updated
an average dozen times a year (monthly, but may be more frequent for late
breaking changes like Fiji), but only updated by Cygwin about annually in
arrears; Windows which is updated a few times a year, if a lot of licenced
users are affected, and the rest of the changes are addressed with manual TZ
workarounds; and CLDR, which appears to be updated annually in arrears. 

The Cygwin tz maintainer needs to track the tz updates and the Windows
updates, provide patches to keep the CLDR updated, if you depend on it, and
release updates to the tz package and the Windows mapping with every Windows
update.
