To avoid any unpleasant bugs due to timezone skews, it would be nice
to have *all* release dates and times specified in Greenwich Mean Time
instead of giving obscure US timezone references. A date without a
time should mean something like 16:00 GMT that day (I think that is
much more reasonable than midnight or noon, especially for people who
translate in their spare time, like me).
