But if I am understanding correctly, this is the part of the problem
that I have already solved.

I mean, I am already finding pairs of timezones that have equivalent
behavior from now on.
What I don't know, when I find these, is which ones to keep and which
ones to drop.

Europe/Madrid and drop Africa/Ceuta.
Another example: for Germany I would keep Europe/Berlin and drop
Europe/Busingen.

The question is, once I find these "equivalent from now on" timezones
(which is the part I solved already), how to make that decision.
