Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @joehoyle thanks for taking this up! I like the direction of your latest
 patch and will test it out... I would like to work towards getting actual
 gmt data in the database (and api response), thanks for opening #38883.

 @aduth makes a good point that we still are losing potentially useful
 hooks. Long term, we need to think more here about forward compatibility
 than backward compatibility.  That is ''if we deprecate a filter or hook
 developers use in PHP, can we provide a similar standard approach for
 developers to use in our new JavaScript application''? Once we have
 standard JavaScript actions and filters (#21170) we can include
 matching/similar JavaScript filters for `wp_trim_words`,
 `get_edit_post_link` and even `dashboard_recent_drafts_query_args`.

 @jnylen0 Thanks for the feedback, the use of `wp_localize_script` seems
 reasonable here since this client lives in the admin. I agree reading site
 settings just to figure out a proper date is not ideal.
