In the AdminEmailHandler, it renders the current time:
(the first one).
{{{
Server time: {{server_time|date:"r"}}
}}}
Over the weekend, in our server, which has USE_TZ=False, that resulted in
an AmbiguousTimeError ''inside logger.exception(...):''
{{{
try:
do_some_stuff_that_might_fail()
except Exception:
logger.exception()
}}}
So our attempt to quickly move on from a failure in
`do_some_stuff_that_might_fail()` did not work and it crashed the
application (since it was called from module-level code).
This occurred at 1:42 AM EDT, and of course stopped being a problem after
2:00 AM EST.
Desired behavior: render the admin email with an ambiguous time if needed,
but don't throw an exception from inside the exception handler
