Re: [PATCH 3/3] libc: Replace one letter member names in __tzrule_struct

[Jeff Johnston <jjohnstn@redhat.com>]

Hello, while I fully agree there is an issue (the struct was due to my
initial check-in in 2005 based on glibc), the change will break API and
thus technically requires a major release bump of newlib.  I would prefer
to wait for something else
to require a major bump before making such a change.  In such a case, I
also believe that the patch should either use double-underscores for the
field names (e.g. __month) or hide the struct from regular users of time.h.
