And as we're already changing bits during release I'd like to change release
time to use UTC instead of ET. We talked a lot about it but actually - never
committed to it. To make the life easier for US folks, 15:00 UTC (we have
14:00 and 15:UTC mapped to 10 AM ET) should be the time. Talking to Robyduck
trying to figure out time difference each time is sometimes flustrating,
specially as the summer time changes are out of sync. And previously we had
Robyn in the gang with another different timezone without summer time :).
