+      The <option>time.timeZone</option> option now allows the value
+      <literal>null</literal> in addition to timezone strings, which sets the
+      timezone to UTC by default and allows changing it imperatively using
+      <command>timedatectl set-timezone</command>. This is additionally now the
+      default value for the option, which means that systems where the option
+      has not been set explicitly will continue to use UTC but allow imperative
+      timezone adjustments now.
