In private email Alexandre Oliva mentioned that this month's
daylight-saving decree in Brazil also repealed daylight-saving
time in the following states:
AL, CE, MA, PB, PE, PI, RN, SE
He also gave me the decree number (4,399). Here is a patch to
take these changes into account. Thanks, Alexandre!
This patch assumes the earlier patch I proposed today.
Sorry about the multiple patches.

+# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized
and

second

will

+# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the
thousands

the

PM,
