Nothing about timekeeping is simple, with or without this change. Not only do some regions already not observe DST (even within the same state/region); some switch to/from DST at different times of year (and this date changes from year to year).

For a timekeeping library (which likely uses a system-level source of data / the IANA tz database) this shouldn't have any effect.

Never in my career is there more chaos than around any type of change having to do with timekeeping.

It shouldn't be a big deal. Inevitably though, it always seems to bring the bugs out of the woodwork.
