Comment(by Otto42):

 I didn't quite mean for the patch to be moved in yet, but that's okay.
 I'll provide another patch tomorrow to finish up the timezone support.
 I've got it half done, still working on the Etc bits.

 As far as the "deprecated" ones goes, I'm not planning on filtering them
 out unless I can find a way to have PHP itself tell me whether they're
 deprecated. The patch gets the list direct from
 timezone_identifiers_list(), which I think does not filter those. There
 may be a way to detect obsolete timezones, but I haven't found it yet.

 The problem is that I want PHP itself to do the heavy lifting and tell me
 what timezones are valid vs. what are not. Since it has the timezonedb in
 it, that info should be there, I just haven't worked it out yet. Something
 in the transitions list eludes me.
