Thanks for this link!

As Martin Pitt already told us on Launchpad[1] (before I tried to go
upstream step-by-step), 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...

Regards, J.C.
