I'm a consumer, and would love to have a "Test" area with stable, define
edge cases in the default database so we could use these in our automated
testing, rather than picking ones like Pacific/Tongatapu
and Pacific/Kwajalein.  But, we already filter the list so normal user's
don't see Etc and similar, but power users can still use them if they need
to.
