That would work in Australia. Got caught again with our 2.2 system just
last Sunday, which jumped from 2 to 3am, skipping the run of /etc/daily.
Unlike the US which goes 2->3am in spring and 2->1am in fall, as someone
said it went, here we go 2->3am in spring but 3->2am in autumn :-)
I'd be as happy with more like 5:05am though. There'll always be some
place where people will have to move daily elsewhere, but that should
suit most - and as someone else pointed out, many of us are nightowls ..
Cheers, Ian
