What Time Is It Anyway?

This morning I've had some confusion about what the time is exactly - Windows machines and everything else say 11am, Gentoo says 10am.

In 2006 I updated sys-libs/timezone-data to support the stupid Australian Government decision to change daylights savings due to the Commonwealth Games, but didn't later update the package again. Maybe that's why.

Although, looking into it, Daylights Savings this year ends on the first Sunday of April, rather than the last Sunday of March.

Updating sys-libs/timezone-data has fixed the problem on Gentoo, but this change is going to wreck havoc on International Time! [confused]

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
