I think the current method to deal with "permanent" summer time in tzdb is NOT to use the dst bit; see eg Turkey who are on summer time since 2016. The dst bit is reserved for switches to an alternate offset that is used for less than a year (except for the few historical cases of "war time"). Michael Deckers.
