I've seen people, usually programmers, suggest we should get rid of timezones and all use UTC because it'd make everything simpler. I have said this before too. But it's funny if you think through what would actually happen.Timezones are abolishedPeople start coming up with their own systems to denote the relative time of day because that's important. They are no less complex than timezones.They demand these new systems get implemented in software.Timezone implementations still need to be kept around for historical data.Now everything is twice as complicated.
