IE use DST also fyi.

> The EU decided to chicken out and let the members decide for themselves

There are reasons the EU doesn't just enforce timeZones across its members.. So this is a 'strange' comment that bothered me.

I didn't mean to say the EU should enforce a timezone. The EU didn't get involved at all after the decision to get rid of DST. Not even by providing guidance or suggestions for the new timezone layout. Usually when there is something to be decided, there is a EU summit or work group. But they didn't even do that.
