How is it not a technical problem? It sure as hell has been a problem for me more than once when implementing things, especially once timezone definitions between two systems drift apart.
Why does it matter whether it’s a technical problem? Neither you nor I have been talking about technical problems thus far.
Solving technical problem is what an engineer does. Asking people to do things differently so that the engineer doesn’t have to solve the problem is what exactly?
Are you talking about winter time vs summer time? Then it’s a whole other matter, completely irrelevant to timezones.
No, I’m talking about timezones themselves changing. Countries regularly change details about timezones.
That’s still not a technical problem.
