+RATIONALE
+ Your location is determined use GeoClue because it clunky,
+ unreliable, inaccurate and requires an Internet connection
+ or GPS device, it is way to common that neither is available.
+ And I do not want to handle all bug reports for this. Besides,
+ you can use an external program.

+ Your timezone is used to determine your location approximately
+ when not specified, You can be a really poor approximation.
+ It is too much work supporting summer time, especially when
+ summer time is not necessarily +1 hour, additionally you can
+ have scheme where it is first normal time, then summer time,
+ then double summer time, then back to summer time, and the back
+ normal time; complicated stuff, additionally, the Russian
+ Federation is in permanent summer time. And have you heard about
+ the People's Republic of China (not to be confused with the
+ less known Republic of China,) they have one timezone, which is
+ far from in the middle of the country. You can use an external
+ program. To keep it simple, we are not even using your timezone
+ to santity check your specified location.
