Assuming that someone that uses a specific language is physically  
located in a specific timezone is not a good idea.
It is expedient, and may be a good assumption in a majority of cases.
Still not a good choice that can't be easily overridden.

For specific examples -

Military personnel deployed overseas.
Foreign travel.
Expatriates.
People working in a country not of their origin.

Anyone that wants to use their native language which is not the local  
language.
Or anyone that chooses to use a different locale than the local one,  
even if it simply to learn a different language or keep a second  
language fresh.

I know it was suggested that the Fedora Linux distro make the above  
assumption for desktop setup, and the push-back was . . . interesting.
