I wonder why 20 years ago the ambiguity of timezone and DST was not
written to configuration on disk, so that we could just tolerate a
hwclock set to current local time?
And now I wonder why we ignore the UEFI spec which rather clearly
expects the hwclock to be set to current local time, and includes
timezone and DST information with GetTime() and SetTime().
