With GMT as the standard time stamp, one can at least know relative 
times of files, even if one does not know such real-world details.

I've gotten into a couple of heated arguments for/against the idea of 
using GMT for everything, and then adapting what time things happen 
to local conditions. The reactions to that idea have been 
fascinating. Much like the arguments about Daylight Saving.

I mean, how silly can one be to object to it being dark when you wake 
up, and then demanding that everyone else change the time on their 
clocks so it's light at 7am the way you want it to be?
