Comment on Update your timezone defs: Russia abolishes winter time (DST)parent

Comments

your second point seems interchangeable with the difficulty of knowing what timezone some random location falls into.

i think it might be slightly worse in that "solar noon"-zones would stick to straight bands.

Yes, it certainly is. But combined with the first point, it explains why such change just won't happen (unless something really extraordinary happens).

When I think about it, I find it quite depressing how many nice things are out there, we just can't have because of overall human inertia and reluctance to accept any major changes.
