If no /etc/localtime (or /etc/TZ for uclibc) is found, then the libc will default to UTC, so setting UTC as a fallback default via the TZ environment variable is redundant.
Since having the TZ environment variable set causes /etc/localtime to be ignored, it can cause confusion if /etc/localtime is added interactively after /etc/profile has been run.
