How could it be otherwise? I might have a computer controlling an experiment that
requires standard time all year long. I would like to use NTP to synchronise my time
but not to give me changes that I don't want.
The NTP time signal needs to be absolute, not relative, which is why it is good for
forensics. I could guarantee that all the servers hit with an attack have the same
time, not relative time.

So, correct me if i'm wrong, NTP distributes UTC, and it is up to the OS's
local zone files to do the math for DST, EST, PST, Daylight savings etc?
That's the way i understand it...
