Comment (by aaugustin):
This is done on purpose according to the Zen of Python: "in the face of
ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess."
Celery's solution is to assume that naive datetimes are in UTC. We can't
adopt this solution for `make_aware` because it takes a `timezone`
argument which can have a value other than UTC.
Always assuming the earliest date may work for your use case, but it may
be considered a silent data corruption bug for other use cases, so it
isn't an assumption we can enforce in the framework.
