It is not at all clear why you would want the `primary` category to contain both Asia/Kolkata and Asia/Calcutta.
Why not? Your comments here seem to imply that you have a goal of getting people to stop using identifiers that you think are deprecated and get them to start using identifiers that you think are better, but it's entirely inobvious to me that this should be a goal of the tz project. If both identifiers will continue to exist forever (and I think that's very likely), who cares which one people use? Why is it important to try to distinguish between them? So much of the conflict here seems to derive from your belief that a Link somehow indicates that the name is deprecated and should be treated differently than files that are not links, but I don't see any reason why this should be true. -- Russ Allbery (eagle@eyrie.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
