So I ended up reversing most of the country-merges from 5ddc47fe415a
(New file time.tab, superseding zone.tab; 2014-07-18) in our version
of the 2022d database release now. I am trying to make available at
least one city within each (sovereign, for some value of sovereign)
country, to make selecting timezone as little confusing as possible.
It is a lot easier for me, living in Norway, to understand that I
should select Oslo for my timezone, and not Berlin (I would probably
have ended up selected "Brussels", being the EU "capital", lacking
other choices; Windows has a similar issue, I have never figure out
which time zone I really am in from their list, as neither list my
country/any cities in it).
