From my point of view at the beginning you were promoting that Org must 
use purely UTC timestamps just because PostgreSQL recommends timestamptz 
type. Now you are insisting that every timestamp must have timezone with 
rules describing DST and other transitions. In both cases you are doing 
it with excessive passion. Currently you are arguing with people who 
have already agreed that location-based timezones are important, e.g. 
Tim and Thomas. I am in doubts if it is helpful to someone.

P.S.
- There are cases when local time + time zone must be stored.
- There are cases when UTC or UTC + fixed offset must be stored.
- There are cases when UTC or UTC + fixed offset is enough, however time 
zone can be added.
