As I've wondered this thing, I think there's really no need for time zones.
Like most of you guys seems to live at night from my point of view 
(which is a normal point of view ;).

And UTC is changed twice a year, there's winter time and summer time 
(daylight saving) and it requires editing to keep it up-to-date.

I suggest to roll back to Revision 43 and keep the arrangement as latest 
addition in bottom.
