Thank you for letting us know. As mentioned in [1], we suggest that any
rule change be announced at least a year before it affects how clocks
operate; otherwise, there is a good chance that many clocks will be
wrong due to delays in propagating updates. Of course we can update the
Time Zone Database with less notice than a year. However, the shorter
the notice, the more likely clock problems will arise.
