True, Wilkins does have semi-permanent structures but is only manned October-April. ________________________________________ From: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> Sent: Saturday, 31 October 2015 8:28 AM To: Paul_Koning@dell.com; mj1856@hotmail.com Cc: tz@iana.org; Michael Chinn; kre@munnari.oz.au Subject: Re: [tz] timezone change for antarctica\casey [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] On 10/30/2015 10:39 AM, Paul_Koning@dell.com wrote:
It would be a VERY bad precedent for the TZ project to decide that some changes are more equal than others.
Although we try to incorporate all changes, there are limits to what we can do quickly. It's not just me personally -- it's also the hassle of everybody who tries to track the tz database and generate new releases. It'd be nice to have a reliable history of Casey's time zone, but I'm not sure it's worth cutting a new release merely because they have bad weather and their supply aircraft is overdue. As I understand it, Wilkins Aerodrome is not year-round and so doesn't make our cut. ___________________________________________________________________________ Australian Antarctic Division - Commonwealth of Australia IMPORTANT: This transmission is intended for the addressee only.
