It surprises me that we see these issues even with UEFI, which seems to include support for timezone and DST information [1]. I can confirm this myself, I have UEFI with Fedora 21 and Win7 at home, and I noticed that there seems to be a fsck running on every Fedora boot. I haven't had time to debug it properly yet, but it doesn't seem to work properly out of the box. Moreover, if I look into `journalctl -b`, I see time shifted during the boot process (which kind of messes up the history whenever I search in it). I haven't reported any bug yet, but there's certainly something not working out of the box there.
