NTP uses UTC as the reference time, so DST changes are local clock only and NTP has no bearing on those DST time changes.

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.
