Can we keep the zic database convention unchanged but change the display format in the logs to be consistent with the SQL conventions?
I think what was meant is, that if it displays GMT+-something it should convert the sign. Is that zic filename exposed anywhere else ?
It is common practice that + is East and - is West, no ?
Yes, exactly. Regardless of how the timezone is handled internally, showing 12-hours-east as GMT-12 in logs is horribly confusing.
