I'd be totally in support of switching to timezone naive form. While it would be ideal that everyone stores their dates in UTC, the real world is messy and most of the time, people are just loading dates as-is and don't even care about timezones. I work on machines with different TZs, and I hate it when I save a bunch of data on one machine in UTC, but then go to view it on my local machine and everything is shifted. It gets even more confusing around DST switches because it gets all mixed up.
