Bahia not on DST any more[edit]

Bahia tested it for one year and then stayed out of it the next year, afaik, but please check :).

First time Daylight Saving Time ended on November 5th[edit]

Was 2017 the first time where DST began on March 12th and ended on November 5th?, since 2012 was a leap year, and March 12th and November 5th skipped Sunday due to 2012 being a leap year, if 2009, 2010, or 2011 had been a leap year it would been the first time in 2011, or if 2012 hadn't been a leap year it would been for the first time in 2012, and in 2006 still had the old schedule where Daylight Saving Time began on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October.
