Yesterday Mexico's Chamber of Deputies voted 445–33 to abolish DST in
most of Mexico, and although there are more hurdles I expect this to
become law. When that happens, I hope the following simple patch will
suffice; it merely changes "max" to "2022" in the last two Mexico Rule
lines. We'll also need to add commentary citing the law, etc., but you
can try this patch now if you like, to debug any applications involving
future time in Mexico.
