Seems like the only sensible option. Welcome to 2014! :)
The concept of "local time" is limited to the RTC-in-local-time mode now.
Systemd will no longer set the kernel's timezone for any normal setup.
Timestamps are UTC now which should make them monotonically increasing,
not jumping backwards.</pre>
