There was a time when every village had their clock tower in the square
and they set it as the town elders saw fit and adjusted it similarly.
No NNTP, no WWV Radio, only the (constantly shifting around) Sun, Moon,
Stars. You wanna know what time it is? Look out the window toward the
square... then came rail and telegraph and ...
I say just shoot your alarm (and... ... ... )
I have heard a proposal for doing smaller adjustments more often - but
why not take that to the logical extreme and do it continuously? Most
people use some form or other of computer to tell time nowadays
anyway, and even physical mechanisms would not be extremely difficult
(I think) to redesign to change smoothly throughout the year.
