If local time is used instead of UTC, DST change can be a small problem. If
you kill ntp server, change time by 1 hour at the right moment, and restart
ntpd, clients will not follow immediately. And in the autumn there could
be ambiguous time stamps for one hour: you would not know if they refer to
time before or after DST change.
