That isn't necessarily harmful. People will simply adjust their hours of activity to match the daylight as they did four centuries ago when clocks were advanced six hours. (Ref: Matthew 20:1-16 KJV vs. NIV.) They didn't start going to work at midnight. Likewise, the proposed perennial DST is bound do be ineffective. In time, days will begin at sunset, agreeing with various traditions. But is this official? (it says bipm): <https://www.bipm.org/en/cgpm-2022/resolution-4> o propose a new maximum value for the difference (UT1-UTC) that will ensure the continuity of UTC for at least a century, o prepare a plan to implement by, or before, 2035 the proposed new maximum value for the difference (UT1-UTC), If so, they're kicking the can down the road. -- gil
