Ulaanbaatar Time Zone Correction
Hello, Looking into the asia file, I see a listing comment for # From Ganbold Tsagaankhuu (2017-02-09): # Mongolian Government meeting has concluded today to cancel daylight # saving time adoption in Mongolia. Source: http://zasag.mn/news/view/16192 Which is correct, however, it appears that the change has not been propagated to the Zone as seen here # Ulaanbaatar, a.k.a. Ulan Bataar, Ulan Bator, Urga Zone Asia/Ulaanbaatar 7:07:32 - LMT 1905 Aug 7:00 - +07 1978 8:00 Mongol +08/+09 It should just be 8:00 across the board at all times. -- *Brian M.

It should just be 8:00 across the board at all times.
It's OK as-is, as the "Mongol" ruleset's last rule is: Rule Mongol 2015 2016 - Sep lastSat 0:00 0 - so that standard time is in effect for the indefinite future. True, we could complicate the Zone by adding another line that says just "+08", but the usual style is to keep the zone lines simple. You can verify that Asia/Ulaanbaatar is OK by looking at its entry in to2050.tzs, a file delivered as part of the tzdb-2017c.tar.lz tarball.
