As someone who spends several chunks of the year eight time zones away from where he spends the rest of the year, I'd like to see this get tweaked, too.
That said, the majority of our customers spend the majority of their time in a single time zone. All other things being equal, we try to devote our development time to the most frequently requested items; that means the improvements help as many customers as possible.
In other words, please send email to the
support ninjas and help this feature request move up that list. :-)
