Comment 5 for bug 82230

Everything has now moved to either a date or `X {hours,minutes} ago', but the tooltips still use the misleading abbreviations. It's particularly bad due to EST not just meaning US and Australian Eastern Standard Time, but also Australian Eastern Summer Time. Summer time started here yesterday, and I was rather confused when I saw times were still cited as being in EST, when it is in fact AEDT.

Also, the times on https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-boston-2007 are cited as being EDT... US EDT, that is. But that's not specified, and there's no way to check what offset it is, or convert it to local time. That was the first time I had seen an absolute time on LP since summer time started, so I presumed it meant AEDT. I was apparently wrong.

Replacing the abbreviations with offsets, or just using UTC now that most things use the new timestamp display format, would make things easier.
