Fedora was on the ball and adjusted pretty quickly, likewise Windows, however Firefox had an interesting Javascript bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411726 initially reported on MacOS X but later confirmed on Fedora 8. It took about a year to fix. IOW, even though the platform gets it right, some apps may still get it wrong because of hidden assumptions, e.g. that timezones are always integral numbers of hours away from UTC. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
