Comment(by ryan):

 Calling date() without passing current_time() when wanting the blog's
 local time is not portable across all the versions of PHP WP supports.
 The fact that it kinda/sorta worked for 2.8 on recent versions of PHP5 was
 pretty much an accident. :-)  current_time() itself needs some fixing (see
 #11672 and #9588), but fixing it so that it works reliably across all
 supported environments may mean forcing the timezone to UTC and requiring
 the use of current_time() when you want to get the blog's time.
