[Design] [Dogfood] Default TZ and interop

[Pieter Hartsook]

I think the term "timezone support" in NOT intuitively clear for a new
user. I think the initial alert asking the user to select a choice of
options needs to be framed with more detail about what is different in
the user experience with TZ turned on, or turned off so the user can
make an informed decision without leaving the alert to go read the
manual (assuming we even had one).
