Hello,
I will be on Christmas vacation until January 6.
Unfortunately I won't have time to fix the square-root
positioning problem for the PostScript backend before
I leave.
All the best and a merry Christmas,
Jochen

Well, I provided these for convenience for people to import from the
dates module. It never occurred to me that simply instantiating 7
objects would carry such a performance hit. However, it doesn't
appear that I documented this anywhere, so it should be safe to remove
them - just make a note in the API_CHANGES file that they are gone and
I'll mention it in the release notes.

Out of these timezones in dates.py
UTC = timezone('UTC')
Eastern = timezone('US/Eastern')
Central = timezone('US/Central')
Mountain = timezone('US/Mountain')
Pacific = timezone('US/Pacific')
London = timezone('Europe/London')
Paris = timezone('Europe/Paris')
Berlin = timezone('Europe/Berlin')
Moscow = timezone('Europe/Moscow')
As far as I can see the only timezones actually used are
UTC - as a function default value, and Pacific - used in __main__
Is it OK to remove all the unused ones, or is there something that
relies on them?

Looks like the dreaded cmex bug. Paul, any ideas?
