You can make the system clock "crawl" or "race" if you use NTP client and
set NTP to have a larger "adjust time" than 60 minutes and use a time zone
that doesn't have an automatic DST change (and ensure your time source
changes). By default I believe it's 20 minutes +/-, so this won't work
without some manual intervention. Otherwise the system just snaps to the
new hour and continues on its way.

Now on a more serious note - the people who are dead-set on using S (for
standard time) in their times for scheduling meetings or listing times of
events or whatever (EST, CST, MST, PST, etc...) will now actually be CORRECT
until mid-March next year. Then they'll look silly until November once
again.

Have a great weekend, and here's hoping your DST end is a success.
