New issue 220 by jonathan.skeet: Libyan BCL zone is broken
http://code.google.com/p/noda-time/issues/detail?id=220

One of our unit tests fails, because it looks like the BCL is broken. The
first DST transition is meant to be at 2012-01-01T00:00:00 local time
(according to the adjustment rule) but it appears to actually occur at
2012-01-01T00:00:00Z. (In every other case, the adjustment rule is treated
as being local time.)

Have filed a connect bug about it:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/787282/libyan-time-zone-has-incorrect-initial-transition#details

We'll see what happens to it before deciding what to do in Noda Time.

It's been acknowledged as a BCL bug, although with an odd comment which
suggests that the responder didn't quite understand what I'd said.

This only makes a difference for a single hour (in the past) in Libya, in a
time zone which I suspect doesn't bear much resemblance to reality anyway.

For the moment at least, I'm just suppressing that one transition in the
tests.

Did we actually implement a fix here, or just suppress the test?

Should this actually be WontFix?

Well, if it's ever fixed in the BCL we should unsuppress the test, but I
suspect that won't happening. So marked as WontFix.
