I'm not sure I understand. Why wouldn't we have any idea if what we are
doing is correct? If the system time has been changed, surely RTC should
be changed as well?

You make it sound like there is some situation where system time could
be entirely wrong. Is there such a situation? I'm not seeing it right now.

I wonder if this change had something to do with the fact that my laptop
had some problems moving to DST (on cauldron), and I had to change the
time manually (IIRC it switched to DST first but then the change was
lost later)... but I guess that could've been something else.
