Data conflict with TZDB is not the reason to keep them in `SHORT_IDS`, but they are defined as time zone ids in JDK1.1, as well as others in `SHORT_IDS` is the reason. They are all deprecated, so ideally we remove them altogether, but I expect that would break apps. That said, it might be useful we log warnings if apps use them, then we may be able to indeed remove them in future releases. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21545#issuecomment-2418124218
