+# From Ahmad El-Dardiry (2014-05-07):
+# Egypt is to change back to Daylight system on May 15
+# http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/100735/Egypt/Politics-/Egypts-government-to-reapply-daylight-saving-time-.aspx
+
+# From Gunther Vermier (2015-05-13):
+# our Egypt office confirms that the change will be at 15 May "midnight" (24:00)
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-05-13):
+# Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath of AP report that the Egyptian government says
+# the change is because of blackouts in Cairo, even though Ahram Online (cited
+# above) says DST had no affect on electricity consumption.  The AP story says
+# DST will not be observed during Ramadan.  There is no information about when
+# DST will end.  See:
+# http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/el-sissi-pushes-egyptians-line-23614833
+#
+# For now, guess that later transitions will use 2010's rules, and that
+# Egypt will agree with Morocco (see below) about the date Ramadan starts and
+# ends, though (unlike Morocco) it will switch at 00:00 standard time.  In
+# Egypt the spring-forward transitions are removed for 2020-2022, when the
+# guessed spring-forward date falls during the estimated Ramadan, and all
+# transitions removed for 2023-2038, where the estimated Ramadan falls entirely
+# outside the guessed daylight-saving time.  Ramadan intrudes on the guessed
+# DST starting in 2039, but that's beyond our somewhat-arbitrary cutoff.
