Developers are the only people against DST changes, just because of how complex it will get. Dear God cities are removing DST! Cities! It means I need to know if you are in or out of a city to know if you need to be shown daylight or standard time!

Just please do it nationally yes or no

That's why it's lucky that identifiers in the tz database are already things like America/New_York instead of "eastern time."

Newfoundland has only just over 500k population and has a nice GMT-2:30 time zone. That's an extra half hour difference. Many cities are larger so I can see them wanting better time for themselves.

Ugh. Any time I need to set up a meeting for IST.
