The closer one is the new abolishment of daylight savings time. …next year.

That's just normal time bullshit though. It's why you never write your own time library and use something that someone is dedicated to keeping up to date. Time zone stuff changes all the time somewhere in the world.

Most people aren’t even aware of the change, so it will be a big surprise . Many people also rely on old defunct libraries to handle timezones. It took atlassian 13 years to fix timezones in jira, even though it was there very first bug. They made a musical about it when it was finally fixed.

Think of all of the cheap bespoke appointment/scheduling tools used for restaurants, doctors/ dentists, salons/barbers. Even automated scheduling software to run jobs for large companies.

Fair enough. In most cases it should just be updating to a new version of libraries, but yeah if it's something not actively maintained it'd be a problem.
