I'm eyeing the sources, and is seems to me that we need to split America/Argentina/Catamarca in two, one for Catamarca (which doesn't plan to introduce the DST), and one for Chubut (which does). The most populous city in Chubut, per wikipedia, is Comodoro Rivadavia, "often referred simply as Comodoro", hence the zone would be America/Argentina/Comodoro.
There is already America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia; you might want to use that.
Mmmhhh America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia is a link in the backward file... and I don't like either the contraction "ComodRivadavia" or "Comodoro" which is a generic naval rank (as would be "Real Admiral")... I think America/Argentina/Comodoro_Rivadavia would be a better choice
Yeah, but "a file name component must not exceed 14 characters [...]" (it's in the Theory file). That's why I used Comodoro in the first place (not noticing the backlink), and that's the reason the backlink name has so awkward spelling. I'd rather reuse the already existing backlink, if it's not a problem to change a backlink back to a full-fledged zone, just to keep the namespace cleaner. PM
