All this speculation about what's happening from people that aren't aware of the facts reminds me of something that happened to me the other day.
A top manager in my company came to give our office an all-hands meeting about management changes. During that, he claimed that my product (Online Calendar) doesn't support timezones and bashed it in front of the whole group.
After the meeting my manager and I confronted him and told him that the problem was with the iOS Calendar application since we're only providing data via CalDav. He was insistent that because we have control of the data that it is, in the end, our fault and a problem with our software.
My boss's boss gets involved and immediately recognized that the problem is that the phone had a setting enabled that removed automatic timezone switching for the Calendar app. A quick change to that setting and the iOS calendar was showing events in the current (Mountain) timezone rather than his home (Pacific) timezone.
So, even someone who's worked in tech for a long time and has a pretty good understanding of things like protocols can still have no idea what they are talking about without all the relevant information.
