It would be great if we solve it finally. It creates huge problems for timed articles and advertisements on sites.

This bug is quite critical in my opinion. I already think that we should revert this timezone change completely (i.e. return to the 4.1.x version) because for 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 we never could make it right. It just does not work properly regardless of any fixes applied.

Why do we need to hurry with 4.2.4? Is it only because of DAM? I suggest we fix critical bugs first, than release a new version. Not everyone uses DAM but many use starttime/endtime and time functionality is broken for more than half a year. This is bad.
