   I believe this section of the arrow schema definition is relevant - 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/master/format/Schema.fbs#L280
   
   In particular
   
   > One possibility is to assume that the original timestamp values are 
relative to the epoch of the timezone being set; timestamp values should then 
adjusted to the Unix epoch
   
   Given this is the only possibility enumerated in the schema, I feel this is 
probably the one we should follow unless people feel strongly otherwise. My 2 
cents is that anything relying on the local timezone of the system is best 
avoided if at all possible, it just feels fragile and error-prone.
