Intended to be explicitly tied to UTC to minimize suffering as a whole.

Picking times sucks :-(  I picked 1500 UTC since it was the earliest
that is still practical for people in US West Coast, and almost the
latest that is still reasonable for Europeans. We could try to do an
hour earlier or later than this.

So, if we try 1 hour earlier, ie 1400 UTC, Thurs 22nd, does that work for
other people too ?
