The number of individual jurisdictions involved in potential changes in northwestern Ontario, combined with the rapidly-shrinking timeline, make this challenging. The need to avoid prospectively creating new zone entries where a timekeeping divergence may or may not actually occur greatly tips the balance away from tracking the details too closely while the situation there remains fluid. (That would, of course, change if Ontario takes any action to handle these regions at a provincial level.) See existing discussion on: https://lists.iana.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/PMZW6NBG3A26AARUCOB34O57J5CLILCW/ For now, the development repository (and thus our pending release) assumes that all of these regions will follow America/Winnipeg's shift to year-round UTC−5, but any area that doesn't can use America/Chicago or America/Toronto as a stopgap, depending on what they do, until we're able to see where things are likely to settle. -- Tim Parenti
