It guarantees that if you hit the date deadline local time, that you won't
miss the deadline. It doesn't matter if there are extra hours afterwards.
The idea is that it gets rid of the need to do time zone conversions.

If we are trying to do some weird optimization where everyone wants to
submit in the last 60 seconds, then sure AOE isn't great for that because
you still have to convert. It doesn't seem to me like that's what we are
trying to do though.
