Ron's blog also mentions the proposed change to expand Daylight Saving Time.
I must admit, first that I have not been following this too closely to know
if others are already saying what I thought when I heard this. Because I am
flabbergasted. I don't mind changing the logic I use to schedule my jobs;
that's pretty straightforward. But a number of devices assume that they
already know when DST changes. Old desupported versions of Windows and any
vendor-abandoned OSs are unlikely to get a patch. And I have even less hope
for my VCR. I wonder how much saved daylight it will take to make up for
equipment that most people will demote at best, or entirely unplug?
