That is what indeed has happened in the past, but since the direction is to remove the data, or archive it away, this would also change.

For many tzdb users, this is the kind of instability that scares them, not the occasional best-effort correction of old data. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schmorp@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
