why can't we do anything about it? We do have the source, don't we? ;-)

Also its 99,9999999% or something, not 99,9%. (Too lazy to do the exact math, 
but Büsingen has 1335 inhabitants compared to 80 mio.)

Also:

[13:01] <      h01ger> | wh000t! timezone busingen! for those who dont know 
what the differenze between standard german (or swiss) time is: in 1980 .de 
introduced summertime and in 1981 .ch (and busingen) did it, thats why. 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Büsingen_am_Hochrhein explains that, the english 
page doesnt...

[13:07] <      h01ger> | that page also says that businged follow_ed_ swiss 
time laws, as if it doesnt do this anymore, so it sounds unlikely that it will 
divert from germany ever again. and even if, being prompted between 
berlin+busingen at anything but an pedantic installation (pedantic>expert) 
seems silly to me.

Or maybe this is a case of me being sleepy or neverending April 1st?!?


cheers,
	Holger, who really wants timezone "Hamburg St.Pauli" or altona.dk anyway
