Comment (by wpnook):

 So consider the purpose of {{{date_default_timezone_set()}}}, used in a
 script in conjunction with a procedural {{{date()}}} call, used to output
 a particular date/time. The purpose is to set the timezone for the
 specific script, not globally -- so that the date can be output in a
 particular timezone, presumably a local one, in instances where the local
 time is the only applicable time.

 This update, in effect, **breaks** that core PHP functionality.

 Post-5.3 update, using {{{date_default_timezone_set()}}} has no effect on
 the timezone output of {{{date()}}}.
