Re:Unix time is bad and needs replacement, not UTC by prennert on Wednesday November 23, 2022 @08:48AM (#33719016)
60mins offset is fine¹. We have this all the time with timezones. But imagine investigating and outage or scheduling an automated event when you have to make sure and communicate with non-technical folks that your graph / setting etc is off by 5:23 minutes.

The OP proposal does say UTC should be used when representing time to end users, but in practice there is going to be blurry lines.

¹TBH, still confusing enough to introduce quite a bit of friction when comparing graphs etc for outages.
