No, there are no conflicts. As I said the timestamps are automatically
converted by the kernel to the right format. And the kernel know which xfs
have UTC timestamps and which xfs have not.

The only problem I can remember is that the first time you change from
local -> UTC the timestamps on the ext2 and MinixFS xfs are all in
localtime. But there is no way to automatically handle this.
