Okay to remove "timezone" package?

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

I want to remove the "timezone" package in favor or "timezones".  But
as it is an essential package, I get the warning:

WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
  timezone 
0 packages upgraded, 33 newly installed, 10 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 5692kb/30.7Mb of archives. After unpacking 80.0Mb will be used.
You are about to do something potentially harmful
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, I understand this is bad'

Am I okay removing it?

Mark.
