Comment (by Rarst):

 We have considered moving to canonical UTC time, but so far decided
 against it since UTC storage is poorly suited for ''future'' dates. Which
 is necessary for scheduling functionality for example.

 Storing future times in UTC in unreliable since they are meant to occur at
 specific ''local'' time by the user and the future state of time zones and
 corresponding UTC time is unknowable.
