No. I can't stand the cliquey, unilateral time zone defined exclusion of 
that. I prefer to discuss with *all* in *all* timezones. A while back a 
decision was made to change something in OSM (apologies, I fail to 
remember what) It turned out it was decided upon in a couple of hours by 
a select few in the European time zone. A poor way to conduct business.

Right, but it doesn't *have* to be used. In this instance it was lack of 
knowledge. If the controls weren't there they'd find out the better way 
to do it.
