I'm looking to store UTC date/times so I don't have to worry about
time zones until I localize the display.  From looking at the code in
DateTimeField I think I've answered my own question, but I just want
to ask here for the sake of conversation. Is there a way to get the
auto_now/auto_now_add feature of DateTimeField to use UTC?

        if self.auto_now or (self.auto_now_add and add):
            value = datetime.datetime.now()
            setattr(model_instance, self.attname, value)
            return value

I'm thinking my use case isn't all that unique, so if there's not a
way to do this, I'm also wondering if this is a reasonable enhancement
request?  As a workaround, I can simply avoid using this feature, but
it is pretty handy.

Thanks
