I rationalized the use of unsafePerformIO in the library by deciding that it was only being used in the case of a LocalTime instance (a user could always stick to UTCTime and avoid the issues) and that unless the machine running the program using time-recurrence was traveling across timezones (and the system was updating that fact) the program would essentially be referentially transparent :)

There's also late-night hackers doing stuff when DST changes (as it did in the US last night and Europe a week ago).
