Re: [Joda-interest] Joda DateTimeZone enum

[Stephen C. <sco...@jo...>]

Since time-zones are essentially just data passed in, there is no
guarantee that the TZDB ones are actually loaded, so a constant may be
misleading. Plus, there is no guarantee that TZDB might not just
change all the IDs.

Not having constants still seems like the right choice many years later.
