     I must overlook something here -- but I do not see
     why you use negative SAVE values before 2017-10-24.

     From 1994-03 until 2017-10-24, the Namibian Time Act
     1994 was in effect, which specifies:
     "   1(1) The standard time of Namibia shall -
          (a) during the summer period, be two hours
              in advance of Greenwich mean time; and
          (b) during the winter period, be one hour
              in advance of Greenwich mean time. "
     See [www.lac.org.na/laws/1994/811.pdf].

     So both summer and winter time are called
     "standard" (which differs from the use in Ireland),
     and the proposed tzdb dst bit just indicates
     the "winter period".
