I would suggest putting relevant info in the readme or such instead of theory for visibility purpose.
I drafted some text along those lines, but after a cooling-off period I reread it and it sounded too negative. README is a high-level description of the project that should be welcoming, and putting something in there that boils down to "Don't waste our time trying to rename Asia/Shanghai" is off-putting. Even CONTRIBUTING is mostly too high-level for this sort of thing. However, CONTRIBUTING can suggest that if the contribution might be controversial then one should read theory.html first (and give a URL to theory.html). Also, while I'm at it, README can be reworked slightly. Proposed patch attached.
