Although Belarus isn't changing its clocks, it looks like we should change its time zone abbreviation. Currently it's FET (Further-eastern Europe Time), an abbreviation we invented in 2011. After the fall changeover Belarus and Moscow will be using the same time, so it would make sense to change Belarus's abbreviation back to MSK, its more-traditional value. A proposed patch is attached.

Sounds reasonable. A proposed further patch documenting the historical use of FET is attached. -- Tim Parenti
