Sorry, I don't recall, but I expect it had something to do with Sevastopol naval bases | |||
and/or city observing Moscow time regardless of what the rest of Crimea did. That usage | |||
is already supported by TZ='Europe/Moscow'. Moving forward, I thought it would be less | |||

non-naval-base Crimea, since the folks who want to set their clocks to Moscow time far | |||
into the distant past should already know to use TZ='Europe/Moscow'. | |||
Plus, "central Crimea" wasn't quite right either, as the Simferopol zone is more | |||
than just the central part of Crimea. | |||

Sorry, I don't recall, but I expect it had something to do with Sevastopol naval bases and/or city observing Moscow time regardless of what the rest of Crimea did. That usage is already supported by TZ='Europe/Moscow'. Moving forward, I thought it would be less confusing for tzselect users if the description said just "Crimea" for the time in non-naval-base Crimea, since the folks who want to set their clocks to Moscow time far into the distant past should already know to use TZ='Europe/Moscow'. Plus, "central Crimea" wasn't quite right either, as the Simferopol zone is more than just the central part of Crimea.
So, it is more than the central part. But what is it?
