From: Tim Parenti <tim at timtimeonline.com>
This borrows heavily from Oscar van Vlijmen's earlier work here.
Mention recent mergers of regions as well.
* europe (Europe/Volgograd): Reattribute old comment to Paul Eggert.
(Asia/Yakutsk): Confirm that Zabaykalsky Krai will need its own zone
from 2014-10-26.
(Asia/Vladivostok): Mention that Bulunsky District will need its own
zone to correctly record its history.
(Asia/Magadan): Mention that the parts of Sakha (Yakutia) Republic and
the North Kuril Islands covered by this zone will need their own zone
from 2014-10-26.
* NEWS: Document this.
