Re: New timezones and datetime formatby ysth (Canon) |

We want to avoid adding timezones that are identical in offset, dst rules, and abbreviation. But should we add timezones such as Asia/Singapore, which is identical to
Asia/Makassar (offset UTC+8, no dst) except that the
abbreviation is SGT instead of CIT? If users really
want, they could select Asia/Makassar and replace the %Z
in the format with SGT.
(In a case such as America/Cuba, where there is dst, this doesn't work since the abbreviation isn't constant.)
