Yet this is pretty much what Arthur David Olson and Paul Eggert have
orchestrated in the tz mail list as those members comb through the
various bureaucratic, legislative, administrative mazes of every
jurisdiction tracking whether and when decrees have actually been
issued and whether the local residents conform or not.  Neverminding
the political and territorial squabbles that accompany all the
changes, they succeed.

The technical ability to keep UTC as a timezone distinct from an
underlying uniform broadcast is demonstrated.

The political will to conform to existing treaties and resolutions is
not evident.
