Block on the patch because it immediately breaks all servers outside CET after upgrade.

Proper solution should have two settings:
- "default time zone" (CET)
- "force time zone" (empty)

Proper algorithm:
- Is "force" setting empty?
 |- "no" -> set it. The end
 |- "yes" -> Is ini_get('date.timezone') value empty?
             |-> "yes" set "default" setting. The end
             |-> "no" Nothing to do. The end.
