[tz] Time zones in conflict areas

[Jacob Pratt]

How many times must people respond that the tz database does not rely
solely on countries?

Western China is listed as +6. According to Beijing, they should follow +8.
There's not even a territorial dispute there! Crimea is de facto controlled
by Russia — you can't possibly dispute this. The people that live in Crimea
observe Moscow time, which is why they are listed as such in the tz
database.

Frankly, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. A number of
people have explained the list's policy, and all you've done is continue to
restate the same facts that have no relevance whatsoever to the listing.
That's not even to mention you're accusations, without evidence, that the
media was flat out lying about the shift in 2014.

Unless you can provide definitive evidence that the people in the ground in
Crimea observe Ukraine time, I suggest you stop wasting everyone's time. I
hate to be rude, but I'm not sure what else will come across as intended
given your persistence.
