Just a note.. personally I don't think a knowingly wrong rule is
"better than nothing", it forces the sysadmin to fix the clock 2
times. I think when there's no good rule "forever", make it apply only
for the known cases and leave it alone so the admin can easily handle
it on his own if needed. Not gonna happen anytime soon in this case,
but happened almost every year in Brazil before this new rule.
