Sorry, but if you don't understand why the old behaviour is buggy, and 
the new one is correct, then it means that you don't understand how date 
& time work.

It's exactly like strings and charsets.

As soon as you don't deal with applications that must simultaneously 
work in different timezones, it's not a big deal.

Otherwise you will have problems sooner or later.
