The fda package already includes as.POSIXct1970, which also sets
tz="GMT" by default.
I made the equivalent thing for as.Date available as
"Ecfun::as.Date1970".
If the Core R team doesn't want to make the change for the existing
functions, they might consider adding alternatives like this. And, of
course, Jan Gorecki and others can use these (if they aren't already
using them or something equivalent).

Hello all,
I would like to propose to change the default value for "origin"
argument in as.POSIXct.numeric method, from current missing to new
"1970-01-01".
My proposal is motivated by the fact that this is the most commonly
needed value for "origin" argument and having that as a default seems
reasonable.
Proposed change seems to be pretty safe because it is now an error.
Best Regards,
Jan Gorecki
