However, I must add that Project Neon is only using a timestamp in the
version for user convenience, clearly KDE/Amarok Nightlies are quite
different in use and versioning compared to other daily build projects
;-)
Anyway, I live by the rule that UTC is the ultimate standard everyone
should comply to, and whenever I have to fiddle with time values in an
application (that is: time values other than "now") I use and store in
UTC and just convert to local upon output/user interaction.

+1 on UTC :)
