[tz] Turkey to delay DST

[Rich Gombert]

I concur. Once IANA does the official release we have to wait for companies like Red Hat and Oracle and organization like PHP to release updates.

I know a couple of years ago the Oracle update for one of the Chile DST changes was released by Oracle two days after the change went into affect.

I all ready have an open change in for review with my companies change control board to allow the update patches (when released) to be installed. I just hope it gets approved when all my answers to the CAB's questions are "I don't know."

Thanks,

Given the software release process at many companies, “a month from now” is actually extremely urgent.

Thanks,
