If there are particular issues with respect to the time zone database
stuff that you all have struggled with and want highlighted, feel free
to send them to me and I'll try to figure out whether they're relevant
to this Internet Draft and the new plans. I will be at the IETF
meeting in Prague, though I won't plan to attend the session in
question unless someone tells me I ought.
If none of this is relevant to Postgres, sorry for the noise. I just
saw it in passing and remember some of the annoyances that happened in
the past.
Yes, we use David Olson's tz database. According to this proposal, David
Olson is retiring, and they propose that IETF takes over maintainership
of the tz database.
The idea seems to be that the work to keep the database and tz code
current would continue like before, just in the hands of different
people, so I don't think this affects us in any way.
