To avoid issues the time should be corrected gradually, if the clock is set back, an old file quasi could be newer than a new file, which could cause issues. IOW using local time always could cause trouble, at least when switching from/to daylight saving time.
I'm not sure if it's avoided by using UTC, actually the time displayed by e.g. the ls-command would be the local time, even if the hardware clock is set to UTC, but perhaps the timestamp of the file differs? Anyway, the Wiki explains other issues
