 > Why not just set UTC without checking for existence of the set function?

 The code was introduced before WordPress dropped support for PHP 4. The
 function didn't exist in PHP before version 5.1.0 and so older PHP
 installations would fatal error if the check wasn't there. Now that 5.2 is
 the minimum requirement that check can be dropped.
