Follow-up Comment #8, bug #57218 (project groff):
Commenting as an ordinary user:
Please do not make groff ignore TZ. That breaks user functionality (for
example \*(DT will be wrong around midnight when using -mm).
The build systems should simply run everything with TZ=UTC to make displays be
the same regardless of where the build executes.
* What would people think if the date(1) command were modified to ignore the
locale? The answer is exactly the same for groff.
----
Also, as a user, I agree that timestamps or any other
possibly-privacy-sensitive info should not be be embedded in output files
unless there is a functional necessity. I realize there was not consensus to
get rid of %%CreationDate in generated pdfs, but I wanted to express my
opinion.

Thanks for listening
