+# From Paul Eggert (2014-01-10):
# For now, guess that Fiji springs forward the Sunday before the fourth
-# Monday in October. This matches both recent practice and
-# timeanddate.com's current spring-forward prediction.
-# For the January 2014 transition we guessed right while timeanddate.com
-# guessed wrong, so leave the fall-back prediction alone.
+# Monday in October, and springs back the penultimate Sunday in January.
+# This is ad hoc, but matches recent practice.
