Sadika Sumanapala, did you get the answer?  If you want abbreviation to 
be changed, then your software vendor should provide their own time zone 
database.
Did you create support ticket already?

Whom do you mean by "your software vendor"? If I'm using Debian, then 
you propose Debian community to build localized tzdb versions for 
different countries?

Later, if some country will change its timezone offset then you also 
will answer "your software vendor should be providing their own ..." ?

Do you realize what your comment offer segregation?

Then tzdb should not provide abbreviations at all. This world has not 
only English language but tzdb is used world-wide.
