You would know if it did, if you're in an area of the world where the
DST rules changed after MS declared "no more patches" for such things.
In most of the US, for instance, your system time would have been off by
an hour for several weeks during the year for the past two years. If
your locale's DST rules did change recently and you didn't notice a time
problem, MS must have relented. There was a huge stink over this.

Sure there is. It benefits the CA -- more $$ -- and it benefits the
rest of us by encouraging people to keep their certs current. Which
cert would you trust more, one where the CA says it was current as of N
months ago (N < 12) or one where the CA says it was current 6 years ago
when it was first created?
