I have already pointed out that it is wrong to link Europe/Vaduz with Europe/Zurich
Vaduz (Liechtenstein) is a different country, with a different timezone history: no DST in 1941 and 1942. It should not be linked with Zurich, Switzerland.
Do you have a source for that?
I do not understand why the current zone for Vaduz, which is correct, should be thrown away and be replaced with a link to an incorrect zone.
This is against the Theory rules, as pre-1970 differences are supposed to be only ignored for areas belonging to the same country.
PS: If it is really true that from now on, you want to ingnore differences between countries, if they apply only to pre-1970, when since 1970 the two countries agree, you would also have to remove Europe/Paris and link it with Europe/Berlin, because since 1970 these two zones have not differed.
The same appleies to MANY central European zones, which all agree since 1970.
It would be a horrible loss of correct history information in TZ.
I agree, but it doesn't seem that Paul is understanding that this data destruction is not wanted :-/ cheers, Derick
