Watching the recent discussions on daylight saving time etc got me
wondering again about the point of having the timezone hardwired
into the kernel.

I can't see why. Is there a major problem with assuming the RTC in
a machine is set to the local (default) time ?

Or is this another reason for maybe having some sort of "kernel
config" file somewhere (like solaris 2's /etc/system) ?
