How *would* the timezone libraries handle "DST always on"? They would still have to flap, twice a year, right?
AFAIK, the way stuff works now is essentially "always get the standard time, adjust it if DST is enabled and in effect." On Wed, Mar 16, 2022 at 1:42 PM Jay R. Ashworth <jra@baylink.com> wrote:

No development really necessary… Just pick the corresponding standard-time timezone and turn off the DST flip flopping.
E.g. if you are in California and go always-on, then simply mark it as MST year round. (i.e. just like you’re in Arizona today, which is MST year round, no DST).
And... Owen illustrates my initial rhetoric about "moving to the east 15 degrees".
Have we not learned, yet, the "don't lie to the computers" rule?
