17262	Refactor the implementations of tzinfo classes	Aymeric Augustin	Aymeric Augustin	"Since the merge of the time zone support branch, `django.utils.tzinfo` and `django.utils.timezone` provide subtly different implementations of a tzinfo subclass representing local time.

The reason is explained at the bottom of [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/msg/c05b469e4335c6cc this message]. In short, the former is used for display and focuses on robustness; the latter is used for time zone support and focuses on correctness.

I think `django.utils.tzinfo` should be refactored and merged into `django.utils.timezone`, but that's probably not doable in a totally backwards-compatible fashion."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Utilities	1.4	Normal	fixed	timezone tzinfo		Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
