Bug#93810: Summary of the confusion



Unfortunately, the sudden burst of activity on #93810 caught me by
surprise, and it took me a while to see it.

Let me assure you, as an Australian who has lived in Australia his whole
life, that AEST is more common than EST. I very rarely see EST - it's
either AEST or AEDT. Also, I agree with Mike's comments - just because
there's some ambiguity there already, doesn't mean there should be more.
"It's what we do now" isn't a convincing case for retaining it.

IMO the change to AEST can do nothing but *alleviate* confusion. Keeping
its abbreviation shared with one of the most often-used timezones in the
world is a bad idea, and it should be changed AEST sooner rather than
later.

But that's just my opinion. :)
