Can other Ukrainian timezones get the same treatment, and so get Europe/Uzhgorod to be changed to Europe/Uzhhorod and Europe/Zaporozhye to Europe/Zaporizhzhia?
TZDB uses names that most commonly appear in English, and due to maintenance and configuration hassles we're reluctant to change spellings unless common English usage has demonstrably changed. Although we found good evidence for such a change in "Kiev" vs "Kyiv", it's not yet clear whether the other names' spelling have changed in common English usage, or if they have changed what they are changing to. TZDB often uses common (albeit "wrong") English spellings (e.g., "Sofia" not "Sofiya", "Prague" not "Praha") so these other Ukrainian locations are in good company. This issue is worth noting in NEWS as I expect others will have similar questions. Proposed patch attached.
