<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Remember that if we remove historical
transitions that are problematic, what we are actually doing is
replacing them with a lack of transition. The database will still
give an answer for these historical date/timezone combination. It
may well give an answer that is wrong more often than it does
now. Before it might have had a transition date that is wrong,
now it will not have any transitions at all. In the absolute,
wouldn't that make more timezone with more dates that are wrong
than is currently the case? If that's so, then isn't this a step
backwards?<br>

<div dir="ltr">I think throwing out data because it is wrong is a
mistake. There is a matter of degree here and since tz info is
not authoritative anyway, little is to be gained. Do we think
that we can approach anything like 99.99% accuracy by getting
rid of suspect data and therefore make the claim that it is more
"authoritative"? I think not.</div>
