 Correct way would be to figure out and serve time zone.

 For display purposes exclusively local time would be fine. But when it
 starts getting used for comparison (and it does in core) that leads to
 pretty bizarre code and logic.

 WP is used to throw local times at everything and a lot of it is severely
 bugged as result. Let's move this in a right direction.
