[Bug 1920987] Re: IANA tzdata file format cannot represent different country code for a given timezone in different time periods [ i.e. Europe/Simferopol country code changes ]

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Setting the status of the bug report to Opinion, as it doesn't fit the
scope of Ubuntu project. It has to be fixed by IANA in upstream releases
of tzdata. Once they come up with a better solution in the file format,
the bug can change to confirmed to be integrated in Ubuntu.
