Thanks for posting that one. It hadn't turned up in any of my searches
and if it was in any documents I already looked at, I must have missed it.
Anyway, it's exactly the type of material I was hoping to be able to point
others to.
While we're on the topic of patches, I found them reasonably straight
forward to install though I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a
programmer. My take on the whole thing is that the patches are small
enough that a person or even small team who has the skill and inclination,
can audit the changes.
On the shallow end of the pool, the content of 009_timezone.patch was
something that even I could follow and understand and (by my
interpretations) demonstrates the principle behind the patches.
Anyway, I can see that a lot of coordination went into them and I am quite
happy about that aspect, which IMHO should not go overlooked.
