    I think the current method to deal with
    "permanent" summer time in tzdb is NOT to
    use the dst bit; see eg Turkey who are on
    summer time since 2016.

    The dst bit is reserved for switches to
    an alternate offset that is used for
    less than a year (except for the few
    historical cases of "war time").
