That has nothing to do with this situation. It just states that IF the
goverment decides to set a date for DST, Mendoza will ignore it. Given
that there is already a special timezone for Mendoza, this is not an
issue at all.
At the moment, there is absolutely NO indication whatsoever that
Argentina (either with or without Mendoza) will change its timezone in
October.
There is no reason to expect so. tzdata should be changed to reflect
this, and obviously it should be fixed upstream.
Yes, it is possible that we do change the timezone sometime this year;
however, at this moment, nobody knows when. So it's a tzdata bug to make
guesses about it.
Last year we had to wait until the law passed (just about 3 days before
the timezone change took place) to change tzdata, which is a very
reasonable requirement.
Now they're playing guesses with our timezone based on a rumor written
on an almost-unknown online newspaper?
Thanks,
Alberto
