I agree.

The difficulty is choosing the right one. Linux is multi user system and
users
may have their own locale settings. System's default and user's default may
differ
also. Distributor cannot choose the right timezone automatically.

If it's impossible to determine right one automatically, PHP shall have
reasonable default which would be UTC.
