Good point, thanks
We therefore need to store these population figures, for this use as preference values.
Yes, I'd thought about that. Maintaining the population figures would be a bit of a pain (and another source of arguments!), but we could cut down on that by merely maintaining a list roughly sorted in order of increasing population. The list wouldn't need to be complete, only enough to resolve ambiguities. I had considered only winnowing at build/install time; winnowing at tzselect time is also a good idea. Thanks!
