The UK could now end it unilaterally, but that also seems unlikely to happen.
Yeah, here's the thing--where I reside, AZ, doesn't (in most parts) observe DST. We have enough Daylight in the summer--we have zero desire for more. However, if the US decides to do away with DST, and other countries don't, then you get to perform the mental gymnastics that I've done, for the last however-many decades, trying to remember exactly how many hours' difference you are from (Place X, say London UK), depending upon what time of year it is. Half the year, I'm in the same "time zone" as California (when they observe DST); half the year, I'm an hour ahead of them.

It's a PITA.
