You just have one 23 hour day in spring, and a 25 hour day in fall.

Currently, the Spring Forward cycle lasts: 7 months
and The Fall Back Cycle lasts: 5 months

You don’t think this is an issue? Should it not be 6 months and 6 months?

Remember,

On Monday August 8, 2005 President Bush signed into law a broad energy bill that “extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks” beginning in 2007. Since 1986 the United States had observed Daylight Saving Time from the first Sunday in April through the last Sunday in October.

Did Bush then decree that smoke detectors must come with 5 month and 7 month batteries?

I don't like doing DST at all. But the time periods don't really matter - they were extended to match the sunlight hours better. You don't lose any extra time there, the sun is just in a slightly different spot given any arbitrary time.
