The zone1970.tab says: "This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select timezones appropriate for their practical needs". I have the impression that the coordinates in that table do not anymore aid users to select appropriate timezones,
Did they ever do so? The coordinates for the tzdb region in which I live point to a random location on 1st street in Los Angeles, which is over 400 km from where I live, and is far from where the vast majority of people in the America/Los_Angeles region live. (It's not all that near where many people in the *Los Angeles metropolitan area* live.)
