I was thinking along the lines of whether there are programs (business, scientific...) that need to step backwards in time.
a) I wondered whether they handle the missed hour and extra hour every year, correctly. Just like most people can walk forwards correctly but walking backwards will cause most to stumble and fall.
b) if and when DST becomes permanent, I wonder whether the bump in history when we last lost an hour, will be taken into account by such programs. I wonder if there is a Y2K-like moment here.
