Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 12:45:16 -0300 From: Glenn Eychaner <geychaner@lco.cl> Message-ID: <C6BB4A22-34F5-45E5-8062-F1219AE328D5@lco.cl> | Incidentally, a style question: why use the "Apr Sun >= 23" notation | for changes that affect only a single year, rather than just specifying | the exact date (e.g. "Apr 29"), I don't recall any specific policy on this - personally I would mostly use the explicit date for any case where it's known for sure that the rule applies to only one year, but where it is possible that it might be extended then the algorithmic form can make it easier to see that multiple years can in fact be expressed in one rule - so if next year they decide Apr 28 is the magic date, then we could just use the same rule and have it apply to multiple years, rather than building a long list of one year only cases. My only other policy would be to not make meaningless changes that cause churn in the source files but change nothing - so now the rule is written the way it is, it will most probably remain that way, even if next year the "last Sunday in April" strategy isn't adopted. kre
