[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 ]; iso 3166-2 has no RU subdivisions for Crimea

[Alexander]

And Dmitry, I will tell you personally that all international projects
that are built by English-speaking and Latin-speaking companies often
end up with stickers (made in the USA) and the accounts of international
developers get banned or turn into hired workers. So don't be under the
illusion that your name will be next to it.
