> In LANG-691 DateUtils.UTC_TIME_ZONE was removed because TimeZone-s are
> mutable. However it was a handy constant. So it would be nice if it could be
> reintroduced in an immutable way. For example:
> - by creating a new static method DateUtils.utcTimeZone() {return
> TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");}
> - or by creating an immutable timezone type (subclassing maybe SimpleTimeZone)
