This all looks good, especially keeping this. It isn't just coexistence
with Windows that makes it a good idea to put local time into the CMOS
clock. If you want to wake up a machine in the morning it is a lot
simpler to do with local time in the clock, otherwise you either have it
waking up an hour early half the year or manually twiddle twice a year.
Complete shutdown saves even more electricity than suspend and is less
error prone on the typical desktop. Which adds up if you have a lot of
desktops. I only have a few dozen but every dollar that isn't wasted
helps.
