(Get the code!)
I'll note that the timezone map has changed very recently (not yet even released) to use not quite cities, but 'zone names' -- i.e. translated cities.
Where before you'd see Berlin or New York in the City dropdown, now you see Germany or Eastern (translated for the language chosen). In the case where a country has more than one timezone-city, you'd see 'Russia (City 1)' and 'Russia (City 2)'. In the case where a country has zones with non-city names (like the US, Mexico, and Canada), those names are shown.
The label for the dropdown has been changed from 'City:' to 'Zone:' and the help text at the top is now:
"Select your location, so that the system can use appropriate display
conventions for your country, fetch updates from sites close to you,
and set the clock to the correct local time."
So suggestions on top of these changes are definitely welcome, but just wanted to give a heads up on the new look.
