Naively storing timezones also adds complexity, just later and probably someone else's problem.

Timezones are naturally complex. They just are. If you're not handling it, then your stuff is broken.



This is a conversation about what timezone to configure on a server, no?

Of course all stored timestamps should include a timezone (assuming there's a local context to the events they refer to) if at all possible. I hope that part is not controversial.
