Pretendo Account server doesnt take DST into account

General

I noticed apps like Miiverse and TVii that have a built in clock that gets shown on the loading screen have an incorrect hour, its usually an hour before, it seems to be caused by the utc_offset field in the people request from the account server, that is always not taking DST into account so for example, America/Chicago should be -5 hours rn, but it returns a value that says -6, it seems the server doesnt take it into account, so i hope it gets fixed at some point because its a bit annoying and confusing.

I imagine we should be aware of this?

I hope it gets fixed eventually because im working on a project and i really need to use the accurate time but sadly it depends on the NNID timezone offset rather than the actual console time
