That I talked in almost every message here in this list about the topic. If you (driver and applications developers) want to support only half thinked scenarios like happens every time in Brazil, where cellphone operators for example incorrectly changes mobile phones times more than once every year, making people lost or go to their commitments one hour earlier, then you can implement wrong handling. This of course does not happens only due to bad implementations, but also to not updated time zones databases, but for sure simple implementations also make these bugs. If you as a good developer thinks that the above things are bugs made by bad developers and that the time zone system exists in a way that such things should never occur, then you implement and support named zones correctly.
