Description of problem:
when using fedora alpha netinstall, I noticed many places can be "pinned", but the name don't change accordingly with the place of the pin.

Example :
 * If I select Marseilles in France http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=43.280&mlon=5.338#map=6/43.280/5.338
 * The city is still Paris : http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.859&mlon=2.347#map=6/48.859/2.347

I imagine two possibilities :
 * The list of cities is incomplete
 * You can pin to city that are not relevant for the timezone.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I tried F24 Alpha 1.7 and the temporary build for i18n test day : http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/24/Workstation/x86_64/iso/

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch netinstall
2. Take any language
3. Play with timezone map

The list of time zones in the drop downs are the tzdata zones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones), which are an effort to define time zones by areas that have used the same time since Jan 1, 1970. This is the data that is defined in /usr/share/zoneinfo and what is actually used as the tz setting.

The pin, on the other hand, uses a larger database of cities. This way you don't have to care about where the tzdata cities are when selecting a time zone. You just click kind of near where you live, the pin will drop at a city kind of where you clicked, and the dropdown will show the data actually being used. So, no, the cities are not relevant to the time zone, but they are relevant to the usability of the map. They are not reflected in the dropdowns, nor do they need to be.
