That also sounds rational. -----Original Message----- From: tz-bounces@iana.org [mailto:tz-bounces@iana.org] On Behalf Of John Hawkinson Sent: 17 March 2014 18:24 To: tz@iana.org Subject: Re: [tz] Crimea to switch to Moscow Time as of March 30, 2014
It could take an exclusive pluralist view and have a country called "disputed".
This resonates with me, but I think the instant situation is a bit different. One imagines that those people in Crimea who agree with the Russian referendum will switch their time to Russian time, and those who do not will not. This suggest we should have not Europe/Simferopol but Ukraine/Simferopol and Russia/Simferopol. This also seems like a case where it will be hard to predict exactly what will happen, and so it may be inadvisable for the tz database to take a position too early. --jhawk@mit.edu John Hawkinson ----------------------------- http://www.bbc.co.uk This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
