I have been reading the Rails recipe book and am learning a lot.

One thing that I really hope makes it into rails 1.1 is an updated  
Timezone  
class that tracks daylight savings time.  
It seems like a shame that the Rails Timezone class doesn’t yet handle  
this  
and yet the functionality is available as a TZInfo plugin. I know the  
excellent calculations plugin is being brought into the rails core.  
Certainly Timezones are as “core” as it can get to web apps.

Any ideas if this is planned?

Thanks,  
Zack
