http://english.ahram.org.eg/WriterArticles/NewsContentP/1/128195/Egypt/No-da... "Egypt's cabinet agreed on Monday not to switch clocks for daylight saving time this summer, and carry out studies on the possibility of canceling the practice altogether in future years. The cabinet previously announced that clocks would go forward one hour starting on 1 May, but suspended the decision until a national opinion poll was carried out to ask citizens whether or not they support daylight saving time." Proposed patch attached, which leaves transitions for 2016 and beyond intact, pending the opinion poll. -- Tim Parenti

Thanks. I understand that the polling is done and Egypt's citizens said "no". The government wants to leave open the possibility that DST will resume next year, but I guess that this'll happen only if energy prices shoot up before then, and so DST likely won't be observed next year either. So how about the attached simpler patch instead? We do need a new release soon, since the current database is wrong for Egypt starting May 1.
