So, this new proposed patch, attached, affects abbreviations from this coming weekend. But timestamps remain unaffected until November.
Thanks, I installed that into the development version. I also prefer the "MST" abbreviation for what is now effectively mountain standard time.
Doesn't such a position, however, fly in the face of the "boots on the ground" approach we've taken in other situations? I remember when we removed a bunch of abbreviations that had no basis in fact. In this case it seems we're trying to dictate what their abbreviation they should use, and flying in the face of what we should reasonably expect those boots (and the folks attached to them) to use. +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul@whooppee.com | | Software Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette@netbsd.org | +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+
