Timezones are one thing. Accounting for relativistic drift will be a whole different problem.

I’m glad I’ll be dead before I have to think about dates and times that hard. I’ll never forgive that one island that moved the international dateline or the parts of the United States that don’t follow daylight savings.

Nobody should follow DST. It’s archaic and outdated.

Yes, but it would still be easier if people in similar areas agreed on whether to follow it or not. Having nesting-doll sections of the map which do/don’t follow DST is insanity.
