20663	Admin Now and Today buttons use confusing time / timezone	imfletcher	Aymeric Augustin	"The Django Admin has the default Today and Now buttons for datetime fields.

These seem to use the local time, but store it as UTC in the db without converting it.  Meaning, if its 10PM local time, the Now button will populate with 22:00 but will store as 22:00 +0:00:00.  This is confusing as it makes it very hard to understand what is going on.

It would be better if the buttons used UTC's current date/time and stored as such, or use the default timezone and store the appropriate offset.

PS sorry if dupe, i tried searching but admin, today, and now are hard terms to search on."	Bug	closed	contrib.admin	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	1	0
