Wow, that actually makes me very frustrated, because it means not only did they ignore that flag (not read the documentation?), they actually did more work to implement a tzdata database and check against the current date to change it. Of course, IIRC it also only had 4 timezone settings, so I guess if you lived in Hawaii, Alaska, the Atlantic time zone, or Newfoundland, you were out of luck. And if you lived in Arizona or Saskatchewan or any other place that didn't observe DST, you were also out of luck. (Well, you could at least manually adjust the time, which I think turned off the auto-DST stuff).
