I am going to respond to one of my earlier posts as it doesn't
help things at all to spread misinformation which I am guilty of,

No. It's grub2. Old Grub is now grub-legacy and is

All,
There are only 24 Time Zones that Encompass the Earth. Is 780 files
overboard?
I think Yes.

This is completely inaccurate. Time zones were not devised by drawing
equally-spaced meridian lines along the globe. They were in

However, there's another consideration: the KISS principle.
A system that needs 780 files is going to be a lot more complex

It's far more complicated than that. There are 24 geographic time zones
but zoneinfo has to deal with local civil time as regulated, often

You might like to read this take on the complexity of time zones as

Is there leap-second information in the zoneinfo files?
Isn't this info "global" (i.e. not specific to particular time zones)?

No, but that is where is should be.
