Things may get worse.  Congress is again considering a "uniform poll
closing" bill.  A side effect of the bill would be to keep PDT in
effect until after the election, while the rest of the contiguous
USA would end Daylight Savings Time earlier.

I suggest using the "timezone" package, or other time packages with
source, in your favorite time-sensitive applications.  Sooner or
later you'll have to change the coded/tabled rules.
