It is totally unreliable and has caused so many troubles (and consumed
many of our debugging time). See this ML archive for the various
discussions, or bugs.php.net.

I do not think it is too much asking to an admin to setup the correct
default timezone in php.ini on install, or to allow users to set it
for their virtual hosts via the usual interface.

In short, the amount of troubles on our side (support) is not worth
it, in comparison to what it takes to have a sane setup.

Cheers,
