29514	get_default_timezone() for UTC is no longer equivalent to timezone.utc	Carlton Gibson	Tim Graham <timograham@…>	"[https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/6044 CI testing on Django REST Framework] revealed a change in behaviour in `timezone.get_default_timezone()`. 

The essence is: 


{{{
with override_settings(USE_TZ=True, TIME_ZONE='UTC'):
    self.assertIs(timezone.get_default_timezone(), timezone.utc)
}}}
