Is more detailed timezone history desired?

[Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI)]

Top priorities would be:
1. Ensure that the format of the time zone source files is adequate to
represent historical changes.
2. Document changes since 1970-01-01 (the POSIX epoch).

regarding my project to extend the details of timezone history in tzdata, a
first question:

Is it desirable, in the eyes of current tzdata maintainers, to add such
extensions?
