Thanks for the input @AlenkaF . Another option I would propose is to
disallow "utc" and force "UTC". The former is technically not part of the
Timezone Database List
For instance, if you try to do the same thing in polars you get an error.
Taking a slightly modified example from their docs
```python
>>> import polars as pl
>>> ts = ["2021-03-27 03:00", "2021-03-28 03:00"]
>>> tz_naive = pl.Series("tz_naive", ts).str.to_datetime()
>>> tz_aware = tz_naive.dt.replace_time_zone("utc").rename("tz_aware")
```
yields:
```python
ComputeError: unable to parse time zone: 'utc'. Please check the Time Zone
Database for a list of available time zones
```
I came across this issue when trying to exchange arrow data across the
different libraries
