Comment on Date and Time in Java 8: Timezonesparent

Comments

No.

What we really need is timezones that are always straight hour offsets of UTC, and no DST. With that simplified, we'd keep the benefits of timezones but have less problems dealing with them.

Sorry, I completely messed up my post. Replace every 'timezone' in the post with 'day light savings' - it will also make a lot more sense then.
