While I'm glad we're not discussing whether or not the RTC is set to
UTC or TAI or local time, I do want my computers to display to /me/ the
correct date and time corresponding to my location. And when I travel,
I expect my phone to switch its display automatically, using some
reasonably up-to-date tables.
