When you are working with a lot of machines in different timezones,
using a standard which doesn't include local time variations is a
necessity.

When you run scripts over log files or other reports, you really don't
want to have to do these conversions. Note the problems in March -
there's an hour of reporting missing. In October, there's two hours of
2AM-3AM and the logs appear not to be sequential in time.

Yes, and when you get things with +0000, you don't have anything
further to do.
