Comment:
-1 on maintaining a list of values, because it would repeat information
that is already known to the OS (and the list would be different for
different operating systems).
Doing a sanity check against UTC for cases when we are not expecting to be
in UTC is a reasonable idea. However, it may be fiddly because you can't
raise errors for London and related time zones when they are not on summer
time.
The "design decision" is not to keep the list, but if sanity checking is
possible, then that seems reasonable. We may discover that sanity checking
is really hard to get right, though.
