[wp-testers] Wordpress UTC Time

[Les Bessant]

Most obviously, that not everyone's server lives in the same timezone that
they do. For instance, my site lives on a server in California, while I'm in
the UK. I set my site to display in my local time, and if it automagically
set itself forward an hour when clocks changed in the US, I'd be irritated.
Less technical people than me would be baffled, and the support forum would
be deluged with questions about why WordPress doesn't know what time it is.

THis is probably a naive question...

What does wordpress have to do anything with time at all? Why doesn't  
it just read the underlying system clock, which already handles the  
daylight savings time changes? What am I missing?
