If DST is still around in 1000 years, please drop my brain-jar in front of a spacebus.

Leap seconds never did me any harm but DST is a constant menace, adding complexity everywhere.

You might not even realize the harm leapseconds have caused you. E.g. almost certainly have knocked your cell service out (or rather prophylactic reboots across leap seconds have)-- and that's without having experienced a negative leapsecond.

Agreed on DST too, both are cases of a small harm done at a such a massive scale that the cumulative damage is significant.
