[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 ]

That is, she says... "fuck you all, the United States has a different
opinion on this". And it does this not only for the residents of the
Crimean Peninsula, but also for the residents of the Russian Federation
as a whole. You are wrong to think that this does not affect Ubuntu. It
affects the whole world.
