timezone is defined as a long, a lot of time keeping applications (in
this part of the world at the least) depend on this variable maintaining
the value difference between UTC and the local standard time.

Is there any chance we could move our timezone function to something
else? and stick to a timezone variable? or provide an alternative name
but similar functionality to this? Anyone working on this already?
