The intent matters less than the effect. But in this case, the *intent*
seems quite clearly to be to favor English-speaking countries (or
countries whose timezones are more frequently talked about *in* English,
e.g. Western Europe) over non-English-speaking ones, otherwise we would
eventually use the numeric names everywhere rather than stating there
are no plans to remove [e.g.] EST.
