Brazil's Time Zone on Edit Account

[Roní Gonçalves]

Hello, webmaster. I'm e-mailing you to give a suggestion about the options
given for Brazil's Time Zone when Editing Accounts. Nowadays there are 4
options:

1.Brazil/DeNoronha;
2.Brazil/Acre;
3.Brazil/East;
4.Brazil/West;

This, as it is now, isn't a good way to show time zones because it isn't
according to the actual time zones in Brazil. First, because the brazilian
parliament voted the law nº 11.662, of April 24th of 2008, which says that
from 0 hour of June 24th of 2008, the Acre time zone is extinct, so there
are only 3 time zones in Brazil! As you can see on this map (without DST):

So, actually, time zone, in Brazil, is:

1. Brazilian Atlantic islands (Archipelago Fernando de Noronha, Trindade's
Island, Martin Vaz's Islands, Penedos de São Pedro e São Paulo): UTC
-2hs/GMT -2hs;
2. Official Brazil's timezone - aka Hour of Brasília (Amapá, Goiás,
Tocantins, Distrito Federal, eastern part of Pará (to the eastern of Xingu
river); all the states of Northeast, Southeast and South regions: UTC
-3hs/GMT -3hs;
3. West and Extreme West (Roraima, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do
Sul, western part of Pará, Amazonas and Acre): UTC -4hs/GMT -4hs.

Thus, I hope you change the options with to the correct timezones
correspondency.
Thanks.
