Comment:
`None` would be a more neutral value that `'America/Chicago'` for
`TIME_ZONE`, but changing that would be backwards incompatible -- the
default dates back to before `None` was made a legal value. Also, it's one
of these small bits of history that are part of Django's character...
(granted, that's very subjective).
I think it's best to keep the comment short in the `settings.py` template
and elaborate the various possibilities in the docs. I'm attaching a patch
along these lines. I you think it addresses your concerns, could you
change the "Triage Stage" to "Ready for Checkin"?
