I really think that it should be changed in some way or other. The person who 
reported it as a bug happened to activate the date/time picker on a Friday, 
so was confused as to why the list read Today, Tomorrow, Friday, Sunday - it 
seemed to him that it was trying to show sequential days, but had erroneously 
repeated Friday (Friday being synonymous with Today) - removing Friday would 
leave a sequence of three days Friday, Saturday, Sunday. When I looked at it, 
I couldn't make sense of it either, and then I looked at the code where I 
discovered that Friday and Sunday were hard coded, and I couldn't make sense 
of that either.

To sum up, I think that the current list is unintuitive, and there must be 
lots of people who don't understand its logic. So I think that either the 
Friday and Sunday entries need to be removed, or they need to be renamed.
