No, quite the reverse is true. More timezones (and more people) would be 
affected by adopting backzone, than by what's in the development version 
now. For example, the population of Chongqing is about double that of 
Norway and Sweden combined.  And backzone's Asia/Chongqing stands for a 
lot more than just the municipality of Chongqing.

If you want to maximize data stability under the constraint of being 
fair, then the current development repository beats all other proposals 
I've seen so far.
