My opinion
- the majority here do not want it for all the wrong reasons
- one being it is a southerner thing!
My proposal
- do not copy the south, have DLS 12 months of the year!

No, No and triple No!
You don't want it!!!
It is one of the worst things that Man has done in his fiddling with everything.
One of the biggest problems is that it doesn't get dark enough for proper imaging until after 10pm
and also kids can't do astronomy during DST. It is too late in the night for them by the time it is dark enough!
It's also a real killer during public outreach. Most people are wanting to head home just as it's getting dark enough to start
DST sucks
