Yeah, they'll remove it shortly when they notice the bugs:
- the scale is always the same, on the equator and on the pole (or as
far to the pole you can get get)
- the scale does not change when you zoom in or out with the mouse
scrollwheel.

The last bug is especially aggravated by the fact that for zooming
there are 3 options (doubleclick, zoomwheel, zoombar) of which 2 work
and for zooming out there are only 2 options (zoomwheel, zoombar) of
which only 1 works.
And most of the times, I don't use the zoombar. I never use it when I
zoom in only one or two levels.
