The reason behind that is to give us some time to load the cancellation patch (when delivered) in the whole network again (as it requires node restarts as well).

If all else fails, you could use one of the Etc/GMT* definitions, choosing the correct GMT (UTC) offset.  Watch out that the sign is the opposite of what you would expect (for example Egypt is GMT-2 rather than the expected +2, give or take DST).
