etc/utc in vm-image.tmpl?

[ng0]

line 24 in gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl:  (timezone "Etc/UTC")

Found at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl#n24

Is that even valid? When I use UTC, I use simply (timezone "UTC").
If it isn't valid we should probably change this to this ^

Ah, okay then. I do not use this file. Now that you mention it, I
recall reading it somewhere before.

When I'm done tonight I could share my work on getting GuixSD on
IN-Berlin e.V. servers. It's similar to the process on 1984 ehf
servers. Not native yet, but we're getting there. Once native is
possible (and possibly even Guix deploy is there) I'll talk to
the IN-Berlin team, they expressed at least interest in the
system I could drop by at one of their meetings in berlin and
introduce it.
1984 was interested as well, but I can't just drop by to iceland :)
