Hi team, Is there a list of outdated rule names that are not in use anymore? I found rule name "oz" which is supposed to be a code for Australia however the tiscali only mentions AN, AS and some other similar codes. I assume this is a historical code but I do not find this info on any of the websites. I have problems with some other as well: C-Eur AQ E-EurAsia Please advise.

Is there a reason anyone would care? tzdata rule names are purely an internal cross-referencing mechanism, and have no other use whatever. | I found rule name "oz" which is supposed to be a code for Australia I don't recall oz ever being used in the tz context. It was once one of the pseudo TLDs (like .bitnet .csnet and others) - back in the early 1980's, and is still a sub-domain of .au (as my e-mail address kind of indicates), but was never used for tz purposes that I can remember (since Australia doesn't have a timezone, the Australian states and territories do, naming rules after Australia (even its colloquial nickname) wouldn't make a lot of sense. | however the tiscali only mentions AN, AS and some other similar codes. I don't recognise the reference, but AN AS (etc) (Aust NSW, Aust South-Aus) have been used forever - those (as rule names) relate to the various Aust states, which is appropriate given the way Aust manages time. | I assume this is a historical code Why? From where does that assumption originate? | I have problems with some other as well: | C-Eur | AQ | E-EurAsia AQ is antarctica, and may have once been used as a rule name for that, once, perhaps, if there was a time when we believed that antarctica had a single timezone. The others may have been used once too. But why would you care, even if so. The rule names, without the associated rules, and references to them, are simply meaningless strings of characters. kre
