Personally, I don't think we want to remove the manual stuff. I know when I'm travelling, I often don't have any of the automatic methods available (i.e. my prepaid sim doesn't work in Eurpoe), and I like to change the timezone while I'm on the plane. Free Wifi seems to be much more uncommon in the European airports than it is in North America.
GPS gernally doesn't give you a timezone (although there isn't any reason it couldn't since you should be able to use a timezone map). Although if you lived in a timezone border town, you probably wouldn't want your time flipping every time you go shopping either.
