We do break zones by country code, even if the rules would be identical. ------------------------------ Mark <https://plus.google.com/114199149796022210033> * * *— Il meglio è l’inimico del bene —* ** On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 3:05 PM, Paul Goyette <pgoyette@juniper.net> wrote:
Wouldn't we normally _not_ create a new zone until it diverges from its current zone?****

Which makes the historical "has it always been GMT-5" important. If that answer is yes, then there's no need (yet) for a new zone, but if there is an historical divergence then a new zone is warranted.****

Maybe because Etc/GMT-5 is adequate?****
Systems that are set to use "Etc/GMT-5" will not observe a change even if HM changes.****

I don't know whether HM observed UTC+5 during all the time since 1970.
That is an information the tzdb provides for many other ISO 3166-1 regions, but for HM it fails to do so.
