I don't recall that "the Australians complained". Did their consulate

What was the issue? Was the previous compile-time behavior preferable to

In any case, we do have to understand how to support areas which have
conflicting definitions for character time zones, so if there are
problems we need to be specific or be satisfied with the result.
