I still think it's absurd for the upstream to say "not really any
reason" - the advantage is obvious, gnome clock is already configured
so no extra manual configuration is required for the user. I don't
know if you wish to argue with the upstream, though.
I don't intend to. But if you want, you can take on with that bug
report, I just closed. For me, on KDE, it works decently well with
manual configuration.
