I disagree. This warning occurs, for example, when I create a tarball on
one computer and then transfer it to another computer and build it there.
If the time difference is "12 seconds" I know I can retry in 15 seconds.
If the time difference is "59 minutes" I know I should better change the
DST settings of one of the machines.
