silly-a** question on hobbit, timezones, and the dread purple status

The purple status relies on the mod time of the status file, which uses the
Unix sytem time of seconds since the "epoch" so it shouldn't be affected by
the time zone or daylight savings time.

My hobbit server is in Indiana (US) and we've just decided to start
doing the 'change the clock twice a year' shtick again. Do I need to
worry about what alerts we'll get when the time shifts by an hour, twice
a year? Or does hobbit walk the status messages and re-date them when
the shift occurs?

TIA
