epoch, or at least non-timezone adjusted times, is the way every modern
FS stores file times, no one said otherwise. There is a big difference
between time storage and display ... I was talking about display.
Postgres deals with both so at some point, a file time (or any time)
will get displayed. There are different ways of handling daylight
display, I have yet to find a technically correct way of doing it.

The more I think about it, I personally like the display behavior of
NTFS file times over something like EXT3. When I am in EDT, it is
useful to have all display times in that zone (regardless of whether
that time falls within winter or summer) ... just as they would if I
switched to PST.
