Issue

Pendulum uses tzdata package and imports the tzdata in https://github.com/sdispater/pendulum/blob/75a87a4e3cab45c5f9c38ca6060a54337dcadd09/src/pendulum/tz/__init__.py#L28

However, tzdata package's docs state:

It is generally recommended that any time zone libraries should attempt to use the system data before using the tzdata package

Should Pendulum rather look into system provided files first, and only resort to tzdata if the data is not found?

It's of course easier to just import from Python's tzdata package. Simiarly, if system provided data was used as a priority, then there would be need for a mechanism to override the system-provided data with Python's tzdata package (if OS provided tzdata is too old / incomplete).

So, might not be actionable.
