1) hah, Yahoo used US/Pacific for US servers, GB/London for European servers, and I never had access to Asia Pacific, but I assume something different there. Also, ads system/related graphing tools ran on US/Eastern, except without DST (because 24 hour days are important) There was some talk of changing to UTC everywhere, but I'm not sure if that happened. The next two big companies I went to at least managed to run US/Pacific everywhere. But the problem is always, by the time someone who knows better comes along, it's a PITA to change. |

Pain/annoyance is a recurring theme in this sub-thread as far as reasons go for not switching or not using UTC in the first place.
I strongly suspect, however, that this is one of those situation where the negative aspect is over-estimated.
Other times, merely debating/discussing it draws attention to the pain and serves to amplify it (or its perception). Just quietly implementing it risks offending key players, but the vast majority won't even know the difference.
