We've always journalled where I've worked, so we never wanted to have
journal receivers suddenly 'jump back' in time sequence.  (Could cause
problems in a DR scenario, etc).

Plus, when we've had *really* long running batch jobs, it could cause some
confusion when the time changes in the midst of the job.  For instance, I
was going to write a system once that watched when batch jobs ran versus
when they normally ran, and notified the operators if a job was late.  If
the time changed automatically, a system of this type would believe jobs
were late when they really weren't.

So from a data processing point of view, its always been easier for me to
pick when to change the time (both times of the year), rather than have the
OS change it for me.
