It seems a bit drastic for my purposes. Also, timezones feel rather different from locales to me.
I would agree with this statement. For example, the timezone America/Montreal is appropriate for both en_CA and fr_CA locales, and conversely there are a dozen timezones which are all used concurrently with the en_CA locale. Moreover, if TZ is set to "<FOO>+4<BAR>" then no localization is possible. -GAWollman
