This is a terrible idea. It means that 00:00:00 on the day DST starts does not exist (the clock goes from 23:59:59 to 01:00:00). This again means that software that uses a datetime with the time set to 00:00:00 to represent a date may conclude that the day DST starts does not exist. A better choice would be 02:00 so that DST starts by springing forward from 02:00 to 03:00 and ends by falling back from 02:00 to 01:00 (switching at 01:00 would make 00:00:00 on the day DST ends ambiguous).
