Understood. From the looks of it, state names are only used when the state itself doesn't adhere to a single timezone. North Dakota, Kentucky, Indiana, etc. Thanks for the response, that's clear things up for me. On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 3:20 PM Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:

If this is a potential outcome, is there an idea of how the tz database would adapt to this change? My guess is that new entries would be created to allow us to delineate between these states.
Right.
We are currently covered if California decides to change thanks to America/Los_Angeles,
Not if the rest of the Pacific time zone decides not to change. In that case, we'd need to create America/Seattle etc. We'd prefer city names to state names, as that's the convention.
