2022f and zonetab entries for Mexico
According to 2022f, *America/Chihuahua* and *America/Ojinaga* switched from Mountain Time to Central Time. The descriptions in zone.tab and zone1970.tab still show "Mountain Time". -chris

Thanks for reporting that. I installed the attached patch into the development repository.
Is there likely to be a 2022g soon for this and the tzcode issues, or should I proceed with 2022f? Thanks, Debbie

I doubt whether a new tzdb release is needed for the post-2022f changes seen so far, as they are merely changes to comments or for unusual ports (macOS is not one of the problematic ports). Of course more-serious bugs could exist that we don't know about yet. Yesterday I worried that we'd need a new release soon for events on the ground, as yesterday's change to Mexican law allows for some local tweaking which in theory could occur during the next week or so, as the next major event is when Ciudad Juárez starts disagreeing with its neighbor El Paso on November 6. However, I now see that the two cities disagreed in the past as recently as fall 2009, so quite possibly they will simply shrug and agree to disagree during winter from now on.
OK, thanks! Even if there is a 2022g very little additional work should be needed over that for 2022f. Debbie

After reading yesterday's new Mexico law more carefully, I installed the attached patch, which updates comments to match the new law better. These comment changes don't alter the data (other than ordering, which is irrelevant).
