I'm eyeing the sources, and is seems to me that we need to split America/Argentina/Catamarca in two, one for Catamarca (which doesn't plan to introduce the DST), and one for Chubut (which does). The most populous city in Chubut, per wikipedia, is Comodoro Rivadavia, "often referred simply as Comodoro", hence the zone would be America/Argentina/Comodoro.
There is already America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia; you might want to use that.
Mmmhhh America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia is a link in the backward file... and I don't like either the contraction "ComodRivadavia" or "Comodoro" which is a generic naval rank (as would be "Real Admiral")... I think America/Argentina/Comodoro_Rivadavia would be a better choice (in the same line as America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires... and we could change the link entry in backward to point to it... Here's a patch (against 2008h) which does what I say... One historical question... I find that all cities, up until 1894-10-31 refer to LMT (Lima Mean Time?)... but all have different offsets... after that and up until May 1920, all refer to CMT (Córdoba Mean Time) at a fixed -4:16:48 offset. Which is the source for the LMT offsets?... 'cause I'm happily copying and pasting and for sure introducing errors in the past... not that I'm afraid of the butterfly effect, but I'd rather not introduce wronful data...
