Hopefully if the UK Parliament abolished BST, postgres maintainers would update how the "Europe/London" timezone works to account for this change (as well as every other library that manages timezones). I would also expect there to be a transition period to ensure everyone is brought to speed and the relevant updates are made

Certainly, in my example above I would have to recalculate the UTC value using the new Europe/London timezone to ensure the correct time is used.
The point being, the wall time is an ambiguous time: its point on the timeline can change based on the legislator's pen.
