How *would* the timezone libraries handle "DST always on"? They would still have to flap, twice a year, right?
AFAIK, the way stuff works now is essentially "always get the standard time, adjust it if DST is enabled and in effect." On Wed, Mar 16, 2022 at 1:42 PM Jay R. Ashworth <jra () baylink com> wrote:

Owen illustrates my initial rhetoric about "moving to the east 15 degrees". Have we not learned, yet, the "don't lie to the computers" rule? How *would* the timezone libraries handle "DST always on"?
