Yes, I understand. I just noticed that at the moment in a Debian tzdata package there were no changes and decided to write to you. On 21/12/18 02:20, Guy Harris wrote:

Accordingly resolution the time zone must be changed on December 20 18:00 UTC.
Thanks for the heads-up. Unfortunately this was not much notice, as the change occurred less than 45 minutes after you sent your email, and this was before I read the email.
To quote from the Google translation of the header for the decree:
Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan of December 7, 2018 No. 817.
If the decree was truly issued on 2018-12-07, if an email had been sent to the tz list closer to 2018-12-07 than to 2018-12-21, it would have been easier for Paul to get a tzdb release out before the change occurred.
