I can't quite discern from the "diff" information provided what's supposed to have happened in Jordan. Is the country now "permanently" (i.e. year-round) on UT+03? What is being proposed for the time-zone "suffix"? Surely not "EEST", meaning, I presume, Eastern European Summer Time? Shouldn't it rather be the same as other countries in the region (if any) that are on UT+03 year round? The change is based on correspondence that read (in part): In April I reported that Jordan had stopped using DST. Now the government will use DST all year long Given the "DST all year long" language, using a DST-designating abbreviation year-round seemed like the right thing to do. --ado
