The situation here is not unprecedented.  The tz database used MSK/MSD 
for Europe/Minsk at UTC+3/4 even after Belarus's independence from the 
Soviet Union in July 1990.  And this continued a longstanding practice 
of using MSK/MSD to denote Minsk time at UTC+3/4, going all the way back 
to 1930.  The conservative approach here is to continue to use the same 
abbreviation.
