Sebastien, yes, Ulm is indeed there, but hidden way down the list
because there's a lot of other cities that have "ulm" in the name. I
just missed it in the noise.

Matthew: Living in central Europe, whenever I set up a timezone in a
device, I usually do this: I search for "Europe" which then usually
brings a list with:

Europe (London/Lisbon)
Europe (Amsterdam/Berlin/Rome)
Europe (Helsinki/Bucharest)

Not sure what's the correct way forward here, as Sebastien has valid
arguments too. I still think the current huge list is not the ideal
solution and I for one would probably still prefer one entry per time
zone and continent. So that for example UTC can be found by:

Europe (London/Lisbon)
Africa (Casablanca/Ivory coast)

This picture does it pretty much as I'd expect:

It doesn't have all the cities in there, but it doesn't need to. Instead
it would be much better to have a smaller set of entries and actually
sorted by timezone (not by city name).
