The important thing is that some systems really need to have the officially right time,
Yeah, ok, good point. It *does* do that. Very well. I just have a bad feeling. Say, trains have to have a fixed time. But I'm sure having "12:05 BST, 13:05 BST, 13:05 GMT, 14:05 GMT" is easier to cope with than "12:05, 13:02, 13:32, 14:05". Admittedly that's mainly for human interaction.
Downside is that everybody's clocks would have to be much more intelligent to cope,
But on the plus side, that's probably fairly easy to do now, and does mean everyone has to make damn sure they do it when they design a clock, rather than just hoping people work out the time change "somehow"
