In some ways, yes. "Changing clocks" is the easiest it's ever been. We should be looking into changing them more often, not less. Two levels of daylight savings might be better than 1.

But on the other hand I think having the same sunrise time every day is actually pretty bad from a coordination perspective. Instead of everybody having a fraction of their year have an unfavorable sunrise, you will lock people into having either a light or dark commute.

Everybody will want to start their jobs at the same time making congestion worse. "Support jobs" (e.g. opening the store before "regular" business hours) will be permanently in the dark for their commute.
