We need a lot of new embedded devices. Lots of them have hardcoded when the time changes and have no way of taking it off.


If that's true they've already been wrong in recent history. The US changed when they do DST in 2007 and I believe other countries have moved it around recently as well. If you're dealing with timezones (which DST is) you either need the ability to do frequent updates or you need to stop dealing with timezones.
