In much of Brazil, "Carnaval" is a *major* public festival held on the
weekend before Lent begins.  Lent is of course locked to Easter, and in
Brazil occurs in late Summer or early Autumn, like the end of Summer
Time.  I gather that they do *NOT* want to have a clock change, with a
repeated hour, during Carnaval.  So, if that would happen by the
ordinary rule, TZ = BRT3BRST,M10.3.0/00:00,M2.3.0/00:00, they postpone
the end of Summer Time by a week.

Wikipedia knows about this; start at

I'll have time to consider the rest of your reply tomorrow, I hope.
