why did the region end up being described as "central Crimea" in zone.tab? Sorry, I don't recall, but I expect it had something to do with Sevastopol naval bases and/or city observing Moscow time regardless of what the rest of Crimea did. That usage is already supported by TZ='Europe/Moscow'. Moving forward, I thought it would be less confusing for tzselect users if the description said just "Crimea" for the time in non-naval-base Crimea, since the folks who want to set their clocks to Moscow time far into the distant past should already know to use TZ='Europe/Moscow'. Plus, "central Crimea" wasn't quite right either, as the Simferopol zone is more than just the central part of Crimea.
