Comment:

 Hi atagar,

 This script only works if your machine is in the UTC timezone.
 If your machine is in a negative timezone, it succeeds when it should
 actually fail.
 If your machine is in a positive timezone (like mine), it fails when it
 should actually succeed.

 It needs to use `datetime.datetime.utcnow()`, because valid_until is in
 UTC.

 I'm reopening this to let you weigh in on the impact, but I doubt we want
 to re-run the scan.
