I would like to understand the reasoning for the implementation, if possible.
Simple example: I have a laptop running Ubuntu (or any other popular Linux distro). I fly from New Zealand to Los Angeles I open my laptop and change the timezone via the system GUI (which under the hood uses timedatectl which updates /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime) If I had running services written in Go, they would not be aware of the timezone change. Questions I have: Why doesn't Go respect standard time zone changes? Is there a recommended way to address this? Cheers, Carl PS> I'm aware of https://github.com/golang/go/issues/28020 but would really like to know the reasoning behind caching the timezone and not invalidating the cache when it changes.
