The problem is the timezone, not the calculation. I don't think we need a lib
for  that.

I didn't manage to make it work, I get "tz is not a function". I've tried with
moment-timezone as well, and both with the latest version.
Also worth noting: "Moment.js is a legacy project, now in maintenance mode. In
most cases, you should choose a different library.", from
https://github.com/moment/moment

I had that concern some months ago (we will have twice the same business
logic), but we agreed on providing a "JS equivalent" (bug 28874).

Here it's over-complicating things anyway, we just want to subtract two dates.
We can also rely on the client to make extra processing, which is good for
server perfs.
