Thanks. I understand that the polling is done and Egypt's citizens said "no". The government wants to leave open the possibility that DST will resume next year, but I guess that this'll happen only if energy prices shoot up before then, and so DST likely won't be observed next year either. So how about the attached simpler patch instead? We do need a new release soon, since the current database is wrong for Egypt starting May 1.
