 405 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
 406 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
 407 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
 408 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
 409 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
 410 
 411 # From Paul Eggert (2018-01-23):
 412 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
 413 # with perpetual daylight saving time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
 414 # just say it's at -03; see, for example,
 415 # https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
 416 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
 417 # standard time, so let's do that here too.  This does not change UTC
 418 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations.  One minor
 419 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
 420 # setting for timestamps past 2038.

 611 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):

 615 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
 616 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.

 406 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
 407 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"

 409 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
 410 
 411 # From Paul Eggert (2018-01-23):
 412 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
 413 # with perpetual daylight saving time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
 414 # just say it's at -03; see, for example,
 415 # https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
 416 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
 417 # standard time, so let's do that here too.  This does not change UTC
 418 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations.  One minor
 419 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
