+# From Paul Eggert (2026-06-19):
+# The term “Alberta Time” is legally prescribed from yesterday until
+# 2031-06-30, when OIC 202/2026 expires to ensure that the term is
+# reviewed by then for relevancy and need.  This plan for possible
+# obsolescence affects neither timekeeping nor TZDB’s data, which do
+# not contain the string “Alberta Time”.
