Hi, With the recent changes, geographically distant locations share the same timezone and the same coordinates in the zone1970.tab file. For instance Antarctica/Syowa is a link to Asia/Riyadh and appear with the same coordinates in the zone1970.tab file, while they are more than 10000 km apart. 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, so I wonder if they should just get dropped.
