Even 'backzone' won't suffice to achieve the goal I mentioned, as I vaguely recall some deleted Zones never made it to backzone way back when. I don't recall the details, unfortunately.
I only know of two cases where a timezone with data was converted to a link and the data never reappeared: America/Santa_Isabel on 2016-01-27 (2016a) Pacific/Yap on 2005-08-22 (2005l) Some timezones such as Asia/Ishigaki were in tzdb for a very short time and then were dropped without trace (1999b).
