For some reason I did not receive [Patch 3/4]. Was it sent out?
Also I would like, at least temporarily, to raise a yellow flag on patch 4/4.
Numerous products allow their users to use the current tz identifiers and links directly and I need a short time to study the consequences of the change proposed for currently installed users. A case in point is Drupal, one of the top CMS systems in installed base (after Wordpress), which allows all users to select their own timezone identifier. There are currently about 1 million Drupal websites installed, many of which have hundreds or thousands of users.
As author of PHP's Date/Time support I can tell you the bundled library will contain *all* TZIDs, whether they are in backwards/links or not. However, I do agree with your concerns over things like this: -HR +4548+01558 Europe/Zagreb +HR +4548+01558 Europe/Belgrade I think this will give a *lot* of public outcry, with the other changes in the Balkans causing even more issues as suddenly people listing the zones for "HR" (Croatia) now will see the name of a Serbian city. This is *not* okay. cheers, Derick
