Those who argue for eliminating DST but somehow still preserve some form of winter/summer hours are basically arguing for eliminating DST and then recreating it poorly.

You either do DST or you mostly just pick a timezone and stick with it year round.

I like the latter approach: year-round DST. Not even sunlight in the evening is frequently a problem for me, but not enough sunlight in the morning isn't.

People forget that we (the US) actually had year-round DST once - in 1974.

But a couple of kids got hit by buses in the morning, and there went that experiment:

Edit: got the year wrong!
