That's a good point although I would prefer to have a deterministic conversion that handles historic changes. But I get the point and having a source of truth for the conversion could be better as it won't be affected by bugs in the conversion of deemed right. It does mean maintaining two values though.

If the UTC is derived why store it (unless just as a performance concern e.g. materialised view type of thing)
