Daylight Saving Time update

Alan,

    Are there any applications that depend on system time for any timezone sensitive computations? I know I have some apps in the wild at past jobs that do. I should probably send them a friendly note on that.

Could one of you or anyone else describe the risks of *not* updating the
timezone information?  In other words, we don't do DST in Arizona so why
should I care?

I can think of possible email implications but on a server that does not
interact via email, I don't know enough about admin issue to know if
other problems can happen.
