How do I customize the date/time display in GNOME Shell's top bar?
Time indicator is shown as "%a %H:%M" in the center of the top bar.
How do I move it back to the right where it belongs, and make it include the full date and time ("%Y-%m-%d %s %H:%M")?

Not a regression if you're comparing oranges with tangerines. It is as always has been in Gnome which is now the default DE instead of Unity.

I would recommend removing the last paragraph (reason: what MichaelBay said) and change the title to something like "How do I change the position and format of date & time in top bar of Ubuntu 17.10?" as it's not "wrong", that's how it is in GNOME.
