It's October, soon we'll switch to winter time. Does anybody know what happened to the suggestion to remove it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Latest article I could find is this one: https://www.thejournal.ie/eu-plans-to-abolish-clock-changes-6024800-Mar2023/

I know the EU can be a bit slow, but the vote was held in 2019, seems like enough time elapsed since then.

I wasn't introducing north south timezones, just reacting to the common issue that is that some countries prefer summer time, while others prefer winter time. The issue seems to be there because we want countries as far apart as Spain and Poland to share the same timezone.

An article that addresses that issue, with an interesting proposition (4 timezones instead of 3)
