It is actually only about getting safe, cross platform/OS (even between Linux versions) for the TZ database. It has nothing to do with taste or similar subjective opinion. For the record, the behavior requested in this thread is what we had in earlier versions, all we got was plenty of bugs reports about wrong TZ detections. I think it is not too much asking to set it in php.ini or in your application.
