Absent that, given the high confidence we have in this case in our existing data, it would at the very least be extremely helpful to have specific examples of how our data handles specific conversions in ways that differ from what you expect, e.g.: $ LC_ALL=C TZ=Africa/Johannesburg date -d "1943-09-30 08:00:00 UTC" Thu Sep 30 11:00:00 SAST 1943 $ LC_ALL=C TZ=Africa/Johannesburg date -d "2025-09-30 08:00:00 UTC" Tue Sep 30 10:00:00 SAST 2025 A better understanding of what specifically you think is wrong will help us determine whether the supposed error is in our data or somewhere in how you or your toolchain may be interpreting it. -- Tim Parenti >
