14:00 UTC is 9:00 EST, so it basically means to everyone: do
everything the day before.
"Do everything the day before" is exactly what was confusing about the 00:00
UTC deadline, so I do not see how the change to 14:00 UTC fixes the issue.
It is customary to give inclusive deadlines, i.e., a deadline of day X means
I have up to AND INCLUDING day X to do the work.
I do not see why the deadlines were not changed to 23:59 UTC deadlines
instead, which would also not have meant any actual change in process
(unlike this 14:00 UTC change), just a change of how the deadlines are
announced (subtract 1 day from all the posted deadlines).
