Description
golang/go#38453 tracks updating `time.LoadLocation` to use native Windows APIs. If it is implemented, we can remove the `timetzdata` tag from our Windows builds to stop bundling a copy of Go's tz database in our binaries.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Inspect the Windows build configuration and search for the `timetzdata` tag. Confirm that golang/go#38453 has merged and that `time.LoadLocation` uses the native Windows APIs before removing the tag; verify that Windows builds no longer bundle the Go time-zone database.
