"Given that we are in the process of readjusting in the midst of so many changes, we will also put Daylight Savings Time on hold for this year. It will also make the reopening of scheduled commercial air service much smoother if we don’t have to be concerned shifting arrival and departure times, which may look like a simple thing but requires some significant logistical adjustments domestically and internationally."

Thanks; I'd found that same page independently at about the same time. Looks like this was included in a speech announcing several updates to Covid-19 mitigation measures in Fiji. Proposed patch attached and installed in the development repository. This affects timestamps beginning in about a month (14 November, Fiji time), so we'll need to cut another release soon. -- Tim Parenti Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail.

Will devices adjust in time?

There will likely be problems, yes. See "Samoa awakes to time change confusion" <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2021-September/030796.html> for how things worked out in Samoa last month, though admittedly Samoa gave even less notice than Fiji is giving and other reasons also contributed to the fact that we published a new tzdb release barely in time. We do want to give early-adopters a chance to get it right, though. So although I don't think we should cut a new tzdb release today (as there's a chance Fiji's government will change its collective mind if enough comments arrive shortly), we should do it reasonably soon.
