Sure it is a real world problem. And no, I wasn't advocating for UTC which would not work for half a year, instead of causing a few days of minor headaches. It's caused by the fact that different branches of a large corp have genuine situations where some meetings are between local employees and other situations where you invite a mix of distributed people. Thus there is no "natural default" as to which timezone is "correct".
