Comment:
Ok, I think this is going to lingering more than I'd like it to, so at
least some fixup is in order (which gets easier with upcoming
`wp_timezone()`).
The challenge is how do we fix local time behavior without breaking WP
timestamp behavior?
I am of mind that `timestamp` or `U` (verbatim) formats without GMT flag
should trigger a legacy WP timestamp path, everything else should produce
''correct'' local time for any format. We can document timestamp branch as
discouraged and potentially formally deprecate it at a later time.
Will take a stab on a patch.
