 I didn't express myself very well...

 The change default to empty was independent of the testing. I just thought that
it makes more sense to not install a default timezone than to install UTC as
default (net result is equivalent, but semantically no timezone makes more sense
IMO).

 And then I thought: that's nice, that way the feature also gets tested in the
autobuilders.
