Yes.  Also if d.tzinfo is not None but d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returns 0 or
None.

Because ...?  I'd rather get rid of utctimetuple(), supply a datetime.utc
tzinfo subclass out of the box, and change the spelling of

    d.utctimetuple()

to

    d.timetuple(tzinfo=utc)

Similarly for datetime.now() vs datetime.utcnow().  The proliferation of
ABCutcXYZ methods is confusing, especially since they return naive objects.

None of that helps make for a lowest common denonminator, though.
