[Opensim-users] Warning, one month Warning

[Chris Kennedy]

Why not just set your system clock back a day or so on April 1st until 
April 2nd to avoid it in the first place if you're using a dev release? 
Of course that assumes OpenSim gets the time and date from the system 
rather than NTP... I'm not sure lol.

As for the people who don't have a heads up on this I don't know what to 
say.
