I do not have a strong opinion on that. So keep it or make it UTC default but please do not add yet another warning/notice/whatever. Also, setting a timezone is not about Dev or other fancy tasks, it is about making datetime processing right. If anything I would enforce the default at configure/build time. So it at least gets the correct one from a host point of view. Cheers, Pierre
