Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the proposed changes to Atlantic/Stanley seem to have a double-effect. Taking out the rule from 2012 to max which ends DST in April would put the zone on permanent DST effective at the final change, which I'm reading as the Sunday 5 September 2010. But then the zone change listed for 16 April 2011 seems to move the clocks forward an hour further, to UTC–3+1 (which is wrong).<br>
<br>Much like we handled Russia's "permanent DST," I believe a more appropriate (and correct) patch would be as follows:<br><br>*** a/southamerica Fri Oct 14 23:46:37 2011<br>--- c/southamerica Wed Feb 29 14:41:38 2012<br>

I'd particularly appreciate someone (many someone's...) casting an eye over the change to the Falklands zone definition (Atlantic/Stanley) to see if you agree with the way I made that change.<br>

The change seems to match the comments. It would probably have been sufficient to change the "Falk" DST rules without changing the "America/Stanley" rules, but changing them both seems fine.<br>
