Comment:

 The timezone listing in Settings->General comes from your own PHP
 installation. WordPress doesn't maintain this list, as it doesn't have to.
 It gets it from PHP.

 In my test install, America/Mexico City is indeed listed. This is a local
 install running PHP 5.4.19, and the phpinfo shows the "Olson" Timezone
 Database Version as 2013.4.

 Additionally, as this is part of the core code, a ticket discussing it
 should be made on the core.trac instead of here. Nevertheless, if you
 update your version of PHP, you would probably get the updated timezone
 listings along with it.
