Same thing, here. We can no-longer use a set of predictable rules, and
need to have pre-programmed dates. The tzdata gets updated from time to
time, to accommodate changes such as these. It's a fair bet that
changes to countries like the US are kept up with, with their large
number of users keeping an eye out for that sort of thing. You can
check the changelog for your tzdata package for that sort of thing.

Yes, your computer will manage your date and clock by itself, if you
have the right timezone settings and data. You shouldn't have any
problems, unless you dual-boot, and your other OS decides to do
corrections upon corrections.
