If I understand correctly, the patch translates as UTC -4 being the no-DST timezone for Chile until 25 April 2015; right?.
Correct; this is how we typically model changes like this where a country "observes DST year-round".
If so, the patch it's OK; as long as it's possible to change the start date for this (in case the decrees changes the definition of 'Hora Oficial' instead of just derogating DST)
That would be as simple as issuing a new patch, if it is warranted. Keep us posted. -- Tim Parenti
