FYI, tzdata2016g ChangLog says:
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
The Factory zone now uses the time zone abbreviation -00 instead
of a long English-language string, as -00 is now the normal way to
represent an undefined time zone.
Several zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, along
with zones intended for ships at sea that cannot use POSIX TZ
strings, now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of
invented or obsolete alphanumeric abbreviations. The affected
zones are Antarctica/Casey, Antarctica/Davis,
Antarctica/DumontDUrville, Antarctica/Mawson, Antarctica/Rothera,
Antarctica/Syowa, Antarctica/Troll, Antarctica/Vostok,
Asia/Anadyr, Asia/Ashgabat, Asia/Baku, Asia/Bishkek, Asia/Chita,
Asia/Dushanbe, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Kamchatka, Asia/Khandyga,
Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Magadan, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Sakhalin,
Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Srednekolymsk, Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Tbilisi,
Asia/Ust-Nera, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Yekaterinburg,
Asia/Yerevan, Etc/GMT-14, Etc/GMT-13, Etc/GMT-12, Etc/GMT-11,
Etc/GMT-10, Etc/GMT-9, Etc/GMT-8, Etc/GMT-7, Etc/GMT-6, Etc/GMT-5,
Etc/GMT-4, Etc/GMT-3, Etc/GMT-2, Etc/GMT-1, Etc/GMT+1, Etc/GMT+2,
Etc/GMT+3, Etc/GMT+4, Etc/GMT+5, Etc/GMT+6, Etc/GMT+7, Etc/GMT+8,
Etc/GMT+9, Etc/GMT+10, Etc/GMT+11, Etc/GMT+12, Europe/Kaliningrad,
Europe/Minsk, Europe/Samara, Europe/Volgograd, and
Indian/Kerguelen. For Europe/Moscow the invented abbreviation MSM
was replaced by +05, whereas MSK and MSD were kept as they are not
our invention and are widely used.
