Ending DST or making it permanent would be Y2K all over again.
No thanks.

Actually, the existence of DST makes problems on servers, certificates etc. twice a year. Most of it works properly, but there's always that oddball device that doesn't sync up properly.

During the Arab oil boycott in 73 DSL was extended to save energy. It ended spon after a large number of morning auto accidents and other losses had occurred. It seems people were used to driving home in the dark after work, but too STUNAD (Italian slang),to drive safely in the dark at 8AM.

From a software perspective it would make things way easier. The change times are a nightmare from a code perspective. Especially the “fall back” where 1 and 2AM happens twice. Both changes screw up your timed events, but the double hit is way worse.
