Comment 1 for bug 185232

I read the comments on the duplicate of this bug, and I'm disappointed that the developers decided to remove functionality from the applet's settings. Frankly, the new time-setting tool accessible from the panel applet is badly designed and limited in functionality. I much prefer the looks and capabilities of time-admin, and I'm disappointed that it's been moved from the obvious location of the clock's context-menu to the Admin menu. Most computers are connected to the Internet, and thus would benefit from receiving the time automatically from an NTP server, but this functionality is now harder to find. In addition, changing the timezone is now more difficult.
Why has the functionality been duplicated? It would make more sense to just get rid of the new tool and simply use the older, better one, rather than giving preferential placement to the new, inferior one.
