Absolutely agree and that was my point in the comment you replied to.
If you want to measure elapsed time you should not involve absolute time measures because then you will not need to think about leap seconds or DST changes.
In the context of discussion about permanent DST, then the solution would be permanent DST rather than change the clock or adjust time in your head for 6 months.
