Well, the only 2 use-cases I can see for changing TZs at runtime are: 1) Flight/Travel/Navigation systems, which probably already use UTC for this reason, and 2) Mobile Apps (and maybe, maybe PC apps running on laptops). So how many mobile apps do we think there are based on httpd and how critical is the timezone (presumably changing at airports, like we just did)?
