For example, if you live in Xinjiang, your political preference is related to
whether you should use TZ=Asia/Shanghai or TZ=Asia/Urumqi. Both zones are
"correct" in some sense for that location. tzselect attempts to avoid political
issues, and so won't give you advice about which setting to use.
As for documenting the tzselect stderr behavior, I'm mildly inclined to leave
the exact output sequence undocumented, as I don't think applications should
depend on such implementation details.
