The abbreviation clashes with "Central Standard Time" in America. There are other abbreviations that are equally ambiguous like BST and EST. facter should return the UTC offset, either alongside the abbreviation or instead of it, to avoid ambiguity. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
