My best guess is that the Asia/Tiksi entry is a false alarm,
and that the area hasn't diverged from Yakutsk since 1970.
* europe: Move zone.tab comments to zone.tab.
(Asia/Yakutsk): Move comment for Bulunsky district here,
Remove a comment about a draft Asia/Tiksi zone, containing the
Bulunsky district. We don't have sufficient evidence that it
ever diverged from Yakutsk after 1970.
* zone.tab (RU): Reorder entries to make more geographical sense.
Add comments for draft zones Asia/Chita, Asia/Srednekolymsk.
(Europe/Samara, Asia/Novokuznetsk, Asia/Magadan, Asia/Kamchatka)
(Asia/Anadyr): Mention that the Moscow offset changes 2014-10-26.
* NEWS: Document the above.

- for pointing out the need for the latter zone.) Additionally, a new zone
- Asia/Tiksi (split from Asia/Vladivostok) will be needed to fix some history
- before 2011. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.) All three of these new zones will
- be deferred until the change is official; for now they are commented out.
+ There are a few exceptions: Magadan Oblast (Asia/Magadan) and Zabaykalsky
