Nobody wants this stupid crap where you have to try to recall which
timezone(s) a machine is/was in.  Also, with this change it's easy to
plot out occurrences of some log string over time, as you don't have
to do any date string conversions (useful when trying to track down
bugs that don't present themselves frequently).

The only con I can think of is that you'll need to use date(1)
to convert the timestamp if you want your date string, but hey,
at least the timestamp isn't ambiguous.
