using utc on servers was very common in 2005

I’d say it was common enough but not universally, given the number of arguments I had from 2005 to 2015 about this exact issue.

Hold on, I'm not a sysadmin guy. Are you folks saying the server should not know what part of the world its in, that basically it should think it's in Greenwitch?

I would have thought you configure the server to know where it is have it clock set correctly for the local time zone, and the software running on the server should operate on UTC.

Common, but not universal - from 2005 to as late as 2014 I worked for companies that used Pacific time on their servers.
