I don't see anything wrong with including commentary on various actual and proposed changes.
I apologize for sounding testy. It's frustrating enough keeping up with all the foolishness of law without entertaining suggestions for policy improvements we have no hint of authority to act on. This list is the place changes to the tz database are discussed, and we those of us who follow it must subscribe to keep informed. I meant the suggestion to post in a more appropriate place seriously: your wise analysis is wasted where no reader can act on it. I also meant seriously the suggestion to start a more appropriate list. People who understand politics should be involved, and they are not here. Nathan Myers ncm@cantrip.org
