This continues in the series of moving entries to 'backward' if they exist only because of obsolete tz rules about country codes. In this case, Zone entries are changed to Links; this doesn't affect any post-1970 time stamps, and the pre-1970 time stamps are out of scope and are often of dubious reliability. This (and the next patch) however also removes quite a bit of data and most definitely changes tinestamps for pre 1970. Again, in my opinion without any benefits. I've said before that I have always admired the stability of this database and I see thus as very important because it allows data comsumers to trust this data.
Are you leaving this longstanding policy of data stability behind now? Cheers, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org twitter: @derickr and @xdebug
