I see two issues with using time zone abbreviations like this. First, I think many more people know the name of a city in their time zone, than know the name of their time zone. For example, I lived in London for several years before learning that daylight savings time is called BST.
Second, there are many time zones that have the same abbreviation. For example, there are two time zones abbreviated “ACT”, two “ADT”, two “AMST”, two “AMT”, and two “AST”, and those are just the ones starting with A. <http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577414 Title: Adding time zones to locations of indicator-datetime To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1577414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
