Thank you for looking into this. I wasn't careful enough to read that 
much of archives, only checked a few last month. Alas, mailing list 
archives are not that human friendly. So having a comment outlining 
current state and reasoning right at the `europe` would be most helpful.

Adding a comment is probably the easiest way to nail down guys like me 
that are generally trying to fix obvious error (that what we think) and 
see no other attempts to do that logged in the same file. Probably a 
link to ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/theory.html wouldn't harm too. Idea 
expressed by Guy Harris should go there too probably. Though I wouldn't 
agree with him completely it's worth mentioning in the first place.

Outlining current status for Uzhhorod/Zaporizhzhia would be nice too, 
for example if you check Wikipedia you can find Zaporizhia as the most 
commonly used form. While taking some place in the comments this will 
direct people to some real qualifiers and will outline what should be 
done to change things.

Big thanks for your time and looking into this. Hope after this changes 
the steady flow of patches will cease. :)
