CLDR is trying to maintain timezone strings that are suitable for Java (as almost nobody else uses them) We don't know who all uses the timezone names from CLDR (and which flavor); they are the names used in ICU, which is in C, C++, and Java (with shims for other programming languages).
...which is *available* for use by C, C++, and Java...
