People who find the above arguments compelling would certainly be free
to set their log_timezone to GMT. Those who don't find them compelling
should not be forced to deal in GMT. The fact that Postgres has always
logged in system local time, and we've had no complaints about that,
suggests to me that most people prefer local-time logging.
