Users of historical data, what I called type (2) users, app developers, would like accurate, current and historical data for as many places as possible, and at a minimum for all the cities that used to be part of the main tz table. i want the data for Montreal: future, now, and back to LMT, and for any other city possible, especially for those cities already in back files. This could be done by fixing the backfiles. Then, I can accept the main tz having no historical data, or names, and they can span just a zone while ignoring politics, and i will simply stop using the main tz table altogether and only use backfiles.
