[tz] Crimean timezones

[Sanjeev Gupta]

Sergij,

Could you please give an example of the software or OS that is displaying
the classification you object to, and you and I could take it up with them?

Unless you an OS or programming language framework developer, you should
not be seeing the TZ identifiers.

Regards
