Yeah, that's completely odd.
I strongly disagreed with the argument for that change (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/2109), because it broke the semantics of the class, based on long-established use in Zope: datetime strings which used ISO notation, but provided no explicit timezone, were assigned 'GMT+0' as the timezone.
Totally agreed.
Is this right issue? The URL redirection to LP points me to this: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope2/+bug/143701>
The trunk should be reverted to preserve the old behavior, which may be relied on by third-party applications.
Jup, either revert the change or fix it. Andreas
