It should also be noted that these deprecated timezones are usable Olson=20 timezone based systems, like Linux. They don't need to be translated, but = they don't need to be removed either. I have a test to verify that all=20 timezones on a system work under ICU, and it would be nice if I didn't get = any spurious test failures due to missing timezones.

Although these zones seems not so important (because they are historic zones, not used currently), I=20 can not see any strong reason to exclude them from ICU. I think what we should do is - import Olson tz data first, then if there are zones which are only in CLDR, capture them in ICU, then ICU timezone is a super set of = both Olson and CLDR. -Yoshito Umaoka ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
