This seems more like a case of sour grapes than a bug.

Rather than trying to remove a feature used by a significant number (and
perhaps fraction) of Ubuntu users, perhaps users from the "rest of the
world" who actually care about the feature could get involved and put in
the effort to get the feature extended to their countries.  Weather-
applet probably has most of what's needed to do it.  If not, then that's
a strong indication of a lack of interest on their parts.

Certainly we Americans would rightly be accused of heresy if we asked
for a feature that only worked in Swaziland to be removed because it
didn't work for us.  Maybe Swaziland is the only place that cares about
the feature, but they care a lot.  In that case, it's a net positive to
have it, so long as they are providing the effort needed to maintain it.

OSS grows by embracing and building on the contributions of others, not
by shooting them down because they don't work for you.
