Regardless of all points taken in this discussion think a moment of
the humor of the whole thing, please. The repair for Linux is one

And how would one go about fixing it?, mine
(/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York) seems to be some compressed
format.
Now think of what this will probably mean for all the "high
powered"
Windows 2003 servers out there that the "smart IT managers"
As we both know, 'smart' doesn't always equal intelligent...
have
installed on their huge server farms. I bet it requires them all to
be rebooted for this one wee tiny fix. I just gotta snort with
laughter.
(And for what it is worth - why not simply adopt DST all year long?
And of course, the way to do that is leave noon for a time zone
with the Sun within a half hour of the zenith position and let the
schools or work places shift their start times and stop times. But,
that's too logical.)
Apply logic? To a basicly human condition problem? That would be
totally out of character for TPTB. I'd fall over from shock if that
ever happened with enough regularity to get used to it.
