Like 
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-shovel/annotate/default/src/supervisor3.erl 
?

It only introduces a fixed delay rather than exponential backoff, but 
that should be good enough and, if not, would be easy to add.

Anyway, the bug should get fixed in the next OTP release, which ought to 
happen way before the next DST change cycle.
