Following on from thread at
https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/zrppqw/

[First off, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that works on
org-mode. It is a wonder.]

While I realize a few kicks at this can may have been taken, I wanted to
(re-)propose Timezone support in org-mode. The world is much less local
these days and we're all more remote and coordinating globally these days.

*Background*

1. org-time-stamp-formats TZ currently only affects display and exports
2. org-agenda itself is not TZ aware
3. Several discussions on this have taken place over time
4. Concerns raise included breaking backwards compatibility

*Proposal*

1. org-mode sets an optional variable (org-timezone-aware t) which enables
TZ
2. org-agenda needs a way to determine which timezone it is in
3. Once enabled, any timestamp not exhibiting a TZ in it is considered
"local time" wherever that is (I do not think UTC would work for this)
4. org-agenda can calc local based on TZ differences

I understand this is by no means trivial and quite gnarly with DST and such
to figure out but I do believe libs exists to deal with that heavy lifting.
Currently, it does feel like a hole in org-mode as a 21st century organizer
(disclaimer: digital nomading so might feel it more keenly). Also, just
interested in making org-mode a more awesome tool for everybody.

I'd love an understanding of the alluded to reservations raised in the
reddit thread and in the mailing list threads mentioned that the format
change might break things (I was unsure if that was referring to say, how
time ranges were handled, or how say date ranges got dealt with (for
example, say a flight from Singapore to Vancouver which takes off in one
time zone and lands in another - something that is often in my cal.).

thanks!
Daryl.
