 I am designing a theme where I want the current timezone to be displayed
 after the time in comment and post timestamps. For example, I use <?php
 comment_time() ?> with my default time format set to H:i T.

 I am in the UK, and until the clocks changed on 28 October everything was
 fine. Posts or comments written during a summer gave the time as e.g.
 "14:00 BST" while those written in the winter said "13:00 GMT".

 However, since BST ended, I now see "UTC" for all datestamps, irrespective
 of whether they were posted during the summer or winter. So the two
 examples given above would now show "14:00 UTC" and "13:00 UTC"
 respectively, despite the fact that the first one is incorrect. I also
 don't understand why it switched from using GMT to UTC.

 I do not know whether this bug is present in other timezones.
