Comment:

 Once a post is published, The time is set at that point in time.

 Updating the time on posts just because the timezone option has changed
 has further reaching effects than simply the time displayed, Permalink's
 can become out of sync(or change), RSS items can be duplicated, etc.

 In the same way, If you set a post's time to be 1PM, And then change the
 timezone to be 5 hours ahead, Would you expect that posts time to be set
 to 6PM, or to stay as you set it?
