For those WXSIM users which are not using “public-scripts” for processing latest.csv it would be no big deal. They can modify their own scripts, if necessary.
But the ones using other ones script, that remains a question. Who knows if all scripts remain functional?
The script authors added code to work around the DST-problem and 23/24-hour problem.
Maybe some scripts will fail if the csv-problems are removed and is the original author still maintaining those scripts?
Better leave the current columns of the latest.csv as is.
And add an UTC column ( 2018-10-19_05:00_UTC ) at the end. This was done with lastret.txt also.
As the number of columns is already variable, old scripts needs no maintenance.
New scripts which will be developed in the future should use UTC date/time column.

P.S.
The Leuven WXSIM scripts can be checked here: https://www.weerstation-herent.be/wsfct4/ Select “full page all data” for the latest.csv one.
Because I can not run WXSIM anymore I am totally dependant on users to get test-data.
