No-one on this list, as far as I can tell from archives, has ever
expressed vocal support for the use of "UTC" as a token parameter to
NEWNEWS or NEWGROUPS. As far as I can tell it started as an offhand
suggestion from Charles Lindsey, and every other comment on it in the
archives (including at least one from Charles) has disapproved of it
on the basis of incompatibility.

There has been a lot of discussion of UTC in terms of the _meaning_ of
the time parameters to NEWNEWS and NEWGROUPS, but this is not the same
issue.
