Rules are too confusing or like "Law of the Jungle" Added to which, there is a lottery as to just what one gets prior to 1970 anyway. If there ARE documented differences in the pre-1970 sequences for a location, then it should be documented, but in many cases it is simply the latitude which provides the base time offset for the whole of that strip of the world independent of any politics. Locations should not be thought of a each having their own timezone, but rather using a set of rules for a period of time. That rules have 'location' related tags has been a problem since day one, and the fact that user interfaces insist on using those tags DESPITE the rule about not doing so does not help and is no reason for adding more locations.
