    Since the anticipated change is now less than two weeks away, I've
    drafted some patches, attached.<br>
    <br>
    (0001 is just a minor fixup to a previous NEWS item for grammatical
    consistency.)<br>
    <br>
    0002 simply shifts America/Cancun, the existing zone representing
    Quintana Roo state, ahead by one hour from CST with daylight saving
    to EST without, effective 2015-02-01 02:00.<br>
    <br>
    As for 0003, which carves out a new zone for Felipe Carrillo
    Puerto's divergent history, it's not clear the extent to which this
    is actually necessary.  What did FCP actually do between 1998 and
    the present?  Would someone calling local offices be effective in
    helping us find out?  (In the meantime, I've simply created this
    patch so we can at least get a sense of what it might look like; I
    don't actually feel that it should be applied at this time until
    these questions are resolved.)<br>
