Welcome to the list!

That was one concern, but not the main reason against tying time and weather
- it just doesn't make too much sense, as there's not necessarily much
overlap between "locations I want to know the local time for" and "locations
I want to know the current weather conditions for". I think usually the only
location where both time and weather are interesting is the own one.
- It's still pretty unsure where all those settings (locations CRUD,
> weather config) will land in the control-center ;

I don't think weather config makes much sense in the control center (except
maybe a "Show weather in calendar" option in the date+time panel) - as I
understand it, the idea is to have a weather app[0] for most of the
functionality.
