Re: [Evolution-hackers] Thanks and some more questions.

I'll wager a guess. If you allow UTC EXDATEs, then when the user
changes their timezone it's a pain to convert the EXDATE into the new
timezone due to DST. So in order to sidestep this headache, it's
simply unsupported. I have no idea whether this guess is correct or
not :P

Have fun,
