Hmm the comment was a bit difficult to parse, but I think they got it correct. Remember that we have arbitrarily defined the time during local winter as the "standard" time. If we want to keep to that then "permanent daylight savings" is a contradictory term. So what is actually meant is abolishing DST while at the same time changing the standard time to be at the offset of DST before the change. So what I think they are saying is that DST is being abolished, but the actual effective offset at the time when it's abolished is unchanged.

That semantic confusion between daylight saving the switch, and daylight saving the offset, makes it perpetually confusing to argue about whether we should preserve daylight saving at all.
