Permanent DST sucks for Spain in the winter.
Agreed. Permanent DST makes no sense.
I always thought Spain would be in WET ? Maybe it's just is in the wrong time zone ? Why not take the opportunity and fix that too by switching from CET to WET and enjoy noon at midday ?
Btw: I just recently had the pleasure to try to fit the tzdata file into an embedded system with 1MB flash. I nearly went crazy sifting through the data. We couldn't do it anyway and had to settle for a compromise.
Every person that has to do with software has to encourage any attempt to get rid of DST switching. Look into the source files at https://www.iana.org/time-zone... and bee blown away.
