It looks like we'll need a new zone Europe/Astrakhan, split off from the existing Europe/Volgograd. Will the new zone will switch from UTC+3 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00, to UTC+4? This detail is not in the above URL.
In the tz database, rather than give the new zone an invented abbreviation like "ASTT" that does not correspond to existing practice, I'd like to get out of the name-inventing business and just use "+04".
I just know a bunch of people out there are cluelessly checking this string is upper case alpha. How about just following existing practice to avoid breakage and screams, be lazy and use A%sT. ;^> -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
