Whatever the decision is on DST versus Standard, _someone_ is going to be unhappy.

I don’t really care what solution they go with so long as it means I never have to change a clock or my sleep patterns again.

Maybe we could just split the difference. The people who want DST will have things start half an hour later than they want, and the people who want standard will have things start half an hour earlier than they want, and everyone can be miserable together.

[aside to @Thudlow_Boink] Isn’t DST winter and Standard summer?
