I changed my time to DST in about 4 seconds by simply changing the UTC
offset. What is the big deal?
Indeed, my server is in a different time zone than I am, but that is
completely irrelevant when you consider we enter the time in WP by an offset
of UTC, not the server time anyway.

Most obviously, that not everyone's server lives in the same timezone that
they do. For instance, my site lives on a server in California, while I'm
in
the UK. I set my site to display in my local time, and if it automagically
set itself forward an hour when clocks changed in the US, I'd be
irritated.
Less technical people than me would be baffled, and the support forum
would
be deluged with questions about why WordPress doesn't know what time it
is.

THis is probably a naive question...
What does wordpress have to do anything with time at all? Why doesn't
it just read the underlying system clock, which already handles the
daylight savings time changes? What am I missing?
