Description

As using timezones is a recommended good practice by ​the docs, I think we should set USE_TZ=True in global_settings.py.

This will also allow to remove a setting from the default project settings template.

To achieve that, we'll have to add a warning during the deprecation period when we detect USE_TZ is not overridden in project settings.

OK, yes — 10 years should have been long enough for folks to get used to it 😀 +1.

We might even think of *always* activating timezones (middle-term goal?), but I don't have in mind all possible consequences of such a move.
