It is still a _fixed_ ruleset, very simple for Zoneinfo.
I was referring to various nations that change theirs
on-a-whim.  Some are not small nations either.
Apparently you aren't familiar with Zoneinfo or i18n
concepts in general.  ;). No offense.

Actually, the Energy Act of 2005 did a lot overall,
like mutual funding into the 10 nation restart of
Nuclear Power (since all but France has forgotten
how to build them ;).  But more specifically, the US
DST change had been debated for over a decade,
so it was a shoe-in for that bill.

The rules are "fixed," no issues.  Again, talking
i18n here, this was a "fixed" rule change, whereas
many locales are not known prior.  The US is no
big deal in comparison to those.

Heck, virtually all of Indiana and several other places
in North American finally "fell in-line.". You should
read up on it, it was quite an "uninfying event" for
DST on this side of the globe.

*Context* of the thread? Hello? LPI? Internationalization?

So what you're saying is that your devices were
generally ignorant of Zoneinfo concepts in general?
And they'd have to be manually changed in other
locales anyway, or even various Indiana counties
(the ones that used different dates/times).

That argument holds up just as good as putting
19__ for the date on checks, as US DST has changed
before, and will likely change again at some point
in the future.

And a VCR?  Dude, 21st century here, went DVR some
5 years ago, and even had DVD-R back then too.
