Well yes, I don't know much about the topic but your question reminds me of a 
time working for a large Aerospace company when catia models were being created 
and modified by engineers across the globe, the indexing tool was DB2 to keep 
everything in sync our mainframe systems and the systems across the globe 
needed to use, at the time GMT time to ensure the integrity of the model being 
modified. moving from LOCAL time to GMT was a project in itself

If a mainframe process is synchronizing with an off-box process, or engaging 
in communications that contains a timestamp governed by a standard, isn't 
"true" UTC a requirement?

for human consumption? 

The values used for real processing ought to be the value returned by 
STCK/STCKE/STCKF unmodified.
