Has any government gotten closer to a zero lead time than Egypt?
I'm afraid so. I don't know the record, but the least notice that I recall recently was Libya last October. The Libyan government announcement was published at 12:51 (10:51 UTC) October 24 canceling a daylight-saving transition at 02:00 (00:00 UTC) October 25, which is less than 14 hours' notice. The tz mailing list was notified (by Even Scharning) at 10:27 UTC October 25 and we announced a new release at 00:32 UTC October 26, nearly a day after the change. http://pm.gov.ly/news/%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%8... http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-October/020472.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-October/020475.html
