No, because that's not common practice in other countries.

Everything I've read here says that a significant population in Ethiopia
effectively runs their life on UTC-3 rather than the UTC+3 that people
might expect. So I think it's reasonable to have that in the database.

I see no difference between this and the decision to include Asia/Urumqi.
