Once in a while it is suggested that all tzdb zones should be identified by random unique integers, or something like that. I'm more and more inclined to think that's a good idea, because it would once and for all shut down this confusion.
This seems to be a proposal to 1) Move the arguments to be Somebody Else's Problem, somewhere else. 2) Break a lot of existing interfaces to achieve that goal. I cannot begin to calculate the cost of 2) but given the number of downstream interfaces which use tzdb it seems likely larger than the cost of tolerating the discussions on this list. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
