Ha! But seriously, even as a publicity stunt that might shed useful
light on the persistent problem.
Another idea would be to translate Matt Johnson's excellent summary
and analysis
(http://codeofmatt.com/2016/04/23/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes)
into the official languages of all the governments on earth and place
them at http://www.iana.org/time-zones/changes.
With Matt's permission of course.
A one page summary targeted to politicians, sensitive to their
incredibly short attention span, might be useful as well.
