But most software that would need to care about that already needs to care about timezones, and those already need to be regularly updated, sometimes with not much more than a month's notice.
Was this Morsy's government or Sisi's? If it's Morsy's government you're holding a grudge against, I have some good news for you. (Presumably you're not holding that grudge against random taxi drivers and housewives in Alexandria.)
I don't know if the level of bureaucracy where that decision was made is really impacted by the leadership changing. Egypt continues to make super short notice timezone changes as recently as last year. (Just at least not 3 days notice this most recent time around)
Thankfully for me it was just a bunch of non-production-facing stuff.
