So all one has to do is convince their government to make a time change for even a single day, and that will warrant a new zone. 🤔
Yes.
The tzdd isn't a database of locations, it's a database of timezones, which are defined as regions "whose clocks all agree about timestamps that occur after the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC)":
A map from geographic locations to timezones:
can be useful when combined with the tzdb, but that's a separate project. A table giving a list of cities in each timezone would also be useful, but, again, that's a separate project.
Having a tzdb entry for every city of note is *not* a goal of the tzdb project.
