I would like to propose that Asia/Nicosia move to Europe/Nicosia.
It is already available under both names, so there's no technical need to move. As the Theory file says, ordinary users should not need to worry whether the data are named 'Asia/Nicosia' or 'Europe/Nicosia' internally, and instead can use localized names such as 'Λευκωσία', 'Lefkoşa', and 'Նիկոսիա'. A common set of localized names is maintained by the CLDR project <http://cldr.unicode.org/> and if these are incorrect for your locale I suggest writing to the CLDR maintainers.
