I expect businesses might have to do so - e.g. they are stuck on an older version of Java for which only the updated TZ database is available. Also it's not unknown for countries (or US states) to change the rules quite close to the affected dates. In which case a new Java release may not be possible in the time frame. This happened a year or two ago. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
