+# tzdb timezone descriptions, for users who do not care about old timestamps
+#
+# This file is in the public domain.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2023-12-18):
+# This file contains a table where each row stands for a timezone
+# where civil timestamps are predicted to agree from now on.
+# This file is like zone1970.tab (see zone1970.tab's coments),
+# but with the following changes:
+#
+# 1. Each timezone corresponds to a set of clocks that are planned
+# to agree from now on. This is a larger set of clocks than in
+# zone1970.tab, where each timezone's clocks must agree from 1970 on.
+# 2. The first column is irrelevant and ignored.
+# 3. The table is sorted in a different way:
+# first by standard time UTC offset;
+# then, if DST is used, by daylight saving UTC offset;
+# then by time zone abbreviation.
+# 4. Every timezone has a nonempty comments column, with wording
+# distinguishing the timezone only from other timezones with the
+# same UTC offset at some point during the year.
+#
+# The format of this table is experimental, and may change in future versions.
+#
+# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select timezones
+# appropriate for their practical needs. It is not intended to take or
+# endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.
