Default timezone names for Ukraine, e.g. Europe/Kiev, are more understandable and correct than ridiculous fantasy style, e.g. Ruthenia.
We can't simply blank the "comments" column, because the user interface for tzselect currently looks like the interaction quoted at the end of this email, and if the last four lines say simply "1) 2) 3) 4)" the user won't know what to select. Presumably there would be similar problems with fancier user interfaces employing this data. The "(most areas)" comment in Ukraine is similar to comments used in Australia, Canada, and other countries. Perhaps you can suggest better comments identifying the three smaller regions involved. Comments should be in the English language and aimed at an English-language audience. ---- $ tzselect Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
