my local timezone is displayed as MSK (Moscow Time) instead of FET (Further Eastearn European Time).
The most common English-language name for UTC+3 in Belarus nowadays seems to be "Minsk time", e.g.: http://eng.belta.by/all_news/sport/Slovakia-flatten-Switzerland-at-Christmas... http://eng.belta.by/all_news/sport/MAZ-SPORTavto-manages-12th-place-in-Dakar... http://www.globalresearch.ca/ukraine-ceasefire-agreement-donbass-conflict-re... http://www.minskairport.com/minsk-airport-arrivals-online-timetable.html From 2011 to 2014 a time zone separated EET (UTC+2) from MSK (then UTC+4), and I invented the abbreviation "FET" for this UTC+3 zone. But it's better if the tz database reflects existing practice rather than inventing it, and since we no longer have a strong need for an invented abbreviation I'd rather stop using it. Instead, we can document that "MSK" is now ambiguous, and stands for either Minsk or Moscow time, as in the attached proposed patch.
