Description

I don't know what's necessary for an interface to be considered stable. The timezone interface has been unstable since inception, and just got mostly revamped in https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-clocks/pull/71. Is it now ready to be stable? Does it need to have implementations first? I know there was some ongoing discussion in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6899.

Review the timezone interface changes in wasi-clocks pull request 71 and the ongoing discussion in Wasmtime pull request 6899. Determine the project's criteria for a stable interface and whether implementations are required; the issue is complete only when that stability decision is resolved and recorded.
