That's already the case for people in countries whose daylight savings transitions aren't aligned with those for EST/EDT in the US. I don't think too many people would be upset if they have to wait until 11AM to download a release when 6 months prior they could get it at 10AM, especially since deadline changes (when they unfortunately, but inevitably occur) tend to happen on the order of weeks, and mirroring isn't a sub-1hr. activity either (or downloading, for many people, for that matter).

I wouldn't mind, the only issue is that it means the time would be

obviously). At least then everyone can use date -u ...
UTC is much less confusing, and I'm a big fan. +1
15:00 UTC seems reasonable, but I have no preference.
