Eric, I seem to remember reading that your version of WP is 'hacked to 
pieces'. Did this happen before you altered your install? And have you 
tried testing a fresh WP install to see if it exhibits the same 
behavior?

With respect, Carthik, I have a feeling most folks wouldn't share your 
"I'd rather remember to change it manually" sentiment. I'm all about 
preventing feature bloat, and I'm very conscientious of usability, but 
this seems like a shoo-in to me -- the only constraint being the 
technical feasibility of it. On the UI side it should add little more 
than an "Adjust for daylight savings time" checkbox and a dropdown for 
your time zone/locale.
