I got a good laugh out of it.  When it was handed down from above in
our meeting that we WOULD be installing DST patches despite the fact
our 1000+ production systems operate in GMT, I warned them that the
patches may introduce new bugs.  We've spent months rolling the
patches out to production systems.
