email.utils.mktime_tz documentations says:
"Minor deficiency: mktime_tz() interprets the first 8 elements of tuple as a local time and then compensates for the timezone difference. This may yield a slight error around changes in daylight savings time, though not worth worrying about for common use."

But now that issue #14653 is fixed, this is no longer true.

I've added the documentation patch with the outdated remark removed from mktime_tz docs.
