It is essential, IMO, because of the detailed breakdown: the five different
values that go into making the aggregate happiness for a city.  Civ2
allowed you to view these details -- Freeciv does not (yet).

Cluttering up the already overburdened City dialog seems a poor choice.  A
modeless Attitude Advisor seems to me much better.
