If this new 'strict' support still has buggy behaviour around time shifts, why are we bothering?
Because the new 'strict' way of dealing with timezones and datetime arithmetics will become our "gold standard" and we will not tolerate buggy behavior even in the corner cases?
I have no doubt that adding and subtracting strict dt's will behave appropriately. I just also think that part our "gold standard" is refusing the temptation to guess what the result should have been when handed a non-strict dt that is either ambiguous or non-existent. -- ~Ethan~

Ethan, you responded to a joke, but snipped the substantive argument.
