Humans program the computers, though, so the computers can't remove the confusion in places where the human government changes the rules a handful of days before a transition time. For example, this happens every year in Morocco. The entire country must update all their computers manually -- I don't see any way all devices could have correct tzdata in time for the transitions.


Hah, my first thought is "humans also make the government" and I know which one I'd optimize first... sorry about the snark though.
