If it's not a feature, it's a bug!
I made more extensive tests and my conclusion is:
- If I set my server on whatever timezone not using DST, viewer would
show PST in anycase
- If i set it to whatever timezone using DST, viewer would show PDT if
applicable, PST otherwise (SL behaviour)
This is insane: we use a local setting for daylight savings, and a global
hardcoded setting for the hour
This probably means even those using DST will not change at the same time,
depending on which timezone they have.
I filled a Mantis about this
