Comment (by Rarst):

 I agree with a switch to `gmdate()`, since implied `UTC` context can be
 affected by plugins and is unreliable.

 However ''all'' of `date()` use needs to be switched, and the function is
 very very broken as it is. We need to be moving towards deprecating it
 altogether, but I will look into if functionality can be fixed up a bit.
