Hence on April 2 there will be an extremely unusual one-hour period during which there will be five (instead of the usual four) time zones in the lower 48 states: PST (-0800), MST (-0700), CST (-0600), CDT (-0500, in a few counties of Indiana), and EDT (-0400).
I'll draft a proposed change along those lines.
Would this work for America/Indiana/Knox (note especially the -5:00 on the second-to-last line)?

It's a bit more complicated than the patch you sent, because America/Indiana/Indianapolis needs to split into two zones.
I agree, but I have to submit something today. I can't wait any more. Deborah
