I look at Daylight Savings as a bizarre custom, one of a multitude of

If only. People literally die due to the stress caused by the shift.
Really. Stroke risk for at-risk people rises up to 8% in the days
following the DST change. Heart attack risk for at-risk people rises up
to 24%. So yeah, abolishing DST isn't just a silly windmill tilting
exercise, IMO.

DST will be abolished when Boston is added to the TZ database.
