System clock and timezone rules
=======================================

If this is wrong, please for the love of humanity, present your arguments to let me know why.

1. The system clock is ALWAYS set to UTC
2. The system timezone is ALWAYS set to either the timezone of
   a. where most of its users will be accessing it from
   b. where the server is physically plugged in

When these rules are followed there will be much less tax on your cognitive load.
