List,

I forgot about the release notes... I'm on the list, so I see them in real

At my work, the time zone of your punch is determined by the device you use
to punch.  Luckily, our corporate had the foresight to *not* record in UTC
or with zone offset, so upon discovery everybody got a few extra days of
backpay.

You were right to call that a breaker.

I would hope so as well!  It was good to see new names during the 6.0

Maybe someone also will update a package five years from now from Squeak

I should read them!  It sounds like a fair bit of effort on your part.
