The change in 8b46071 <https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/8b46071fd85a7a9434d63894bac64d30362cc16d> sets America/Vancouver's tm_isdst flag to false starting this Monday. Because CLDR keys its display names by this flag, this change will cause ICU and other downstream software (including major operating systems) to display BC’s UTC-7 as "Pacific Standard Time," while Los Angeles’ UTC-7 will display as "Pacific Daylight Time." The CLDR and ICU Technical Committees have evaluated several immediate paths forward, including new display names or a generic "UTC-7" (both of which are not sensitive to the tm_isdst value). However, due to the tight timeline (CLDR releases don't propagate as quickly as TZDB releases), and the uncertainty around the name that will actually be used in the real world, we have determined that continuing to use "Pacific Daylight Time" through this summer is the least confusing solution for users, as it maintains alignment across the Pacific Time corridor until BC actually diverges in November. To support this, we ask that the change to the tm_isdst flag be delayed until November, at least in the rearguard version of the TZDB. This will give us time to determine the name that people will be using, remodel CLDR's data, acquire translations, and ship a release to devices.
