What does this change?
Removes
serverTimeprop (used to prop drill current date and time down to theDateTimecomponent) and moves to context insteadWhy?
This prop adds a lot of extra noise to the codebase due to having to be drilled through numerous components so it is available where needed. We also found it difficult to make the prop required (#14776) as in some cases the data is not easily available (ie. when doing partial rendering of components).
DateTimealready relies on context fromConfigProviderso by also includingDateTimeProviderwherever this is used we can ensure that it is available where needed.
