That shouldn't be a problem; all the links are still there.
They're just in 'backward', not in 'europe' or whatever.

These zone.tab entries are present only as a convenience for
users who run programs like 'tzselect'.  I hope this doesn't
turn into a political football, but if it does we can simply
remove any controversial zone.tab entries.  That would simplify
our maintenance and avoid politics even further, though it'd
make 'tzselect' a bit harder to use in the affected
locations.
