 if user want to set his blog timezone, he sees at fist zones like +2, +3,
 and he does not expect that there are city names in this list. it is quite
 unexpected. though now there is notification under the control: Choose a
 city in the same timezone as you . may be i have not noticed it after it
 has appeared after wordpress update, first time i somehow has not noticed
 it, may be that notification was not here because it was older version of
 wordpress, and i did not know till now that i can choose city. for that i
 had to manually change timezone +-1 hour every year at spring and in
 autumn, if i do not forget. even if there is notification, it is quite
 unexpected, that in drop-down list that begin with values like 0, +1, +2
 when you open it, maybe continents and cities in top side of the list,
 when you scroll it far. i just thought that wordpress uses that way with
 just +1 -2 numbers to call timezones, and then thought that it cannot
 automatically change time for DST. and have come to irc channel to ask
 about it and to say that phpbb3 changes time automatically, and
 fortunately i have got correct answer about this possibility, also some
 people in the chat thought as me, and who answered correctly also said
 that he found it by chance.
