Well that seems pretty strong to me, given that the design point
of the Ada.Calendar package is precisely to report the commonly
used local time on your system.
Almost any package is weak if you start expecting it to do
things completely outside what it was designed for (for
example I have found Ada.Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions
virtually useless for doing computations on arbitrary precision
arithmetic quantities).
