 $ timedatectl
      Local time: Mon 2017-12-11 15:39:13 PST
  Universal time: Mon 2017-12-11 23:39:13 UTC
        RTC time: Mon 2017-12-11 15:39:13
       Time zone: America/Los_Angeles (PST, -0800)
 Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
 RTC in local TZ: yes

Warning: The system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time
zone.
         This mode can not be fully supported. It will create various
problems
         with time zone changes and daylight saving time adjustments. The
RTC
         time is never updated, it relies on external facilities to
maintain it.
         If at all possible, use RTC in UTC by calling
         'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.'
$


So mine is not working and yours is.  But neither one of us is seeing the
details we expect for the behavior our systems have.  That suggests that
our understanding is wrong.
