No development really necessary… Just pick the corresponding standard-time
timezone and turn off the DST flip flopping.

E.g. if you are in California and go always-on, then simply mark it as MST year
round.
(i.e. just like you’re in Arizona today, which is MST year round, no DST).

And... Owen illustrates my initial rhetoric about "moving to the east 15
degrees".

Have we not learned, yet, the "don't lie to the computers" rule?

How *would* the timezone libraries handle "DST always on"? They would still
have to flap, twice a year, right?

Cheers,
