Comment 16 for bug 121540

FYI...

Following indication from Clint Adams (see Debian's bug link at top of this page) I'm discussing this at the source: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz/2122

As Martin Pitt already said, people from tzdata have good arguments to keep going with current rules, which define time zone names using the "most populous" cities.

Hopefully they already agreed to change "Saigon" to "Ho_Chi_Minh", but there's not enough space to append "_City" to the name since the POSIX limit is 14 characters for each path component.

So as the last resort option, I'm trying to let "Hanoi" be a "link" to "Ho_Chi_Minh" so one can choose either one. Not sure if they'll agree on that since it requires more management on their side, especially if "everybody" start to ask to add link for the Capitol City...
