Those pesky non-English speakers! But there is a point: simply because I don't speak Russian does mean that I would have no occasion to see or use time zones that happen to be in Russia.

ones that are different. It clutters up the UI and adds more translation requirements if you need to distinguish non-modern zones.
Pacific/Honolulu; America/Adak; America/Anchorage, America/Nome, America/Juneau, America/Yakutat; America/Los_Angeles; America/Phoenix; America/Denver, America/Boise; America/Chicago, America/North_Dakota/Center, America/Menominee; America/Indianapolis, America/Indiana/Knox, America/Indiana/Vevay, America/Indiana/Marengo; America/New_York, America/Kentucky/Monticello, America/Detroit, America/Louisville
Well, except that you don't need to translate any of these, unless you're really interested in supporting `ko_US' or the like. None of these are relevant to any other country. Their existence should not cause a maintenance burden for other locales. Likewise, there is no need to perform a Swahili translation for the multitude of Brazilian locales.
