Hi,

Do any of you use timestamps in the version numbers for your packages?
If so do you use local time or UTC?

In

  https://code.launchpad.net/~malept/bzr-builder/bug.394117/+merge/8072

there is a fix for running the testsuite in a different timezone from
me, but it prompted me to consider what we should be doing.

UTC would be more "correct" I think, but the chance of problems is low,
and it may be surprising. Would you find it surprising/confusing if
UTC timestamps were used?

Thanks,

James
