I really must disagree. 0000 UTC is at least aligned with something. I cannot
imagine what 1400 UTC was chosen to align with, or how this will be any less
confusing. This seems like it'd only be *more* confusing.
14:00 UTC is 9:00 EST, so it basically means to everyone: do
everything the day before. And 00:00 is confusing because people
interpret it either the day before or the day after. It's a "special"
time that nobody should ever schedule anything people need to care
about at.
