That wouldn't solve the problem, because date/time functions are very
common, and the warning would still show up for too many people. So we
would "solve" the problem for just a small percent of people, while not
solving the key issue.

Also, the check "if timezone not set show warning" would have to be shifted
from initialization to call of each and every datetime function.
