Hello.
Unfortunately, these are completely different time zones.
1. As i see America/Indiana/Indianapolis has DST.
2. Time zones tied to a location can change their time zone according to the decision of the authorities.
For use cases on servers, these are quite significant differences.

From my point of view, the script should not automatically convert common timezones (UTC, EST, GMT+0, Greenwich, ...) into geographic ones.
But we can ask the user in interactive tui if he wants to perform such a conversion.
