Per Jerusalem Post coverage, the Digital Authority is hip to a problem; I
don't know if they're fully aware of desirable lead time.

"It was determined based on the advice of the Israel Digital Authority that
the date of transition between the winter and summer clocks is structurally
defined in the operating systems of servers, computers, communications
equipment[,] and cellular phones. The authority said that to change such a
system would take longer than the time available."
