Comment:
I'm not sure. It seems reasonable to fix the problem but having
`get_default_timezone()` return a different type for a one-off case might
lead to some issue.
While investing, I noticed that `pytz.utc` is
[https://github.com/stub42/pytz/blob/9643b268e1b2df822bed3dfa134c90bd56275f4e/src/pytz/__init__.py#L194
described] as "Optimized UTC implementation." yet the
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/9484 offending commit] in Django
says "Used datetime.timezone.utc instead of pytz.utc for better
performance."
