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.

Today timeanddate updated their English-language summary of this 
<https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mexico-remove-dst-2022.html>.

I haven't installed the following.
