(I asked a few people what 24:00 means to them, and after getting a few strange looks and answers, I'm convinced that 23:59 is much better. (It's only English-speaking people who are confused. I think this stems from US imperial culture, where 12:00 PM is noon, and 12:00 AM is midnight. It is labelling the boundary of a range with a value from the neighbouring range, which is ... bleh. But the confusion is unlikely to go away, so let's just avoid this.)) I also think 23:59 UTC (i.e. ~midnight UTC) is the best choice of the actual time. We generally specify almost all times in UTC in Fedora, and using a different timezone for this important date would be confusing. Contributors are primarily located in Europe and US, so midnight UTC is 2 AM, 8 PM, or 5 PM, which is something like "close of the business day", and I think it's nice the start the freeze at that time.
