When IBM defined the Daylight Savings Time stuff, they (modestly)
underpredicted the effect of time going backwards abruptly. Apparently it
screwed up SAP from what I heard, and timed operations in BRMS were
somewhat affected. More time zones were added to V5R3 by PTF, and several
more added in V5R4.

There was a big push to modify time zones for V5R4, but this was abandoned
when the release was pushed out.

So, anyone hear of any important ptf's or anything we need for Daylight
Savings Time (DST)?

Apparently going through that confuses some software pretty badly.
