I wasn't saying that the USA changes should be ignored. What I was saying
was that correct definitions of all time zones should be reinstated, and
then the USA changes added. I agree that it's more important to ensure
that current and future dates are correct than past ones, so I don't
object to using the new USA definitions even if they are wrong for past
years. But that should be an interim solution - we obviously want to use
the correct USA definitions as soon as we can obtain them.
