Similar to my other database complaints, the comment change seems quite questionable. 
It's not a name of the database as the comment now indicates, but the name of the timezone. No comment change is necessary, and in fact this never really needed that comment to begin with because the variable name says it all. And that we're wasting time discussing something like this is a fine example of superfluous comments being bad.
