 As @vstars notes, this is a terrific chance to recognise that WP has grown
 beyond its initial scope, with sites allowing users across the globe (and
 across timezones) to communicate and collaborate in systems built on the
 WP Core. Making the Core work on UTC, with a default site timezone setting
 able to be overridden per-user (or per-session for non-logged in users
 where we might be able to get their timezone otherwise) would be the ideal
 outcome.

 Basing off UTC would also allow us to use things like the HTML5 time tag,
 and the associated JS libraries which manage the conversion of UTC to
 local time client-side based on browser/device settings.
