      6  1.2  kre # For distributors who don't want to specify a timezone in their
      7  1.2  kre # installation procedures.  Users who run 'date' will get the
      8  1.2  kre # time zone abbreviation "-00", indicating that the actual time zone

     11  1.3  kre # TZ="Factory" was added to TZDB in 1989, and in 2016 its abbreviation
     12  1.3  kre # was changed to "-00" from a longish English-language error message.
     13  1.3  kre # Around 2010, CLDR added "Etc/Unknown" for use with TZDB, to stand
     14  1.3  kre # for an unknown or invalid time zone.  These two notions differ:
     15  1.3  kre # TZ="Factory" is a valid timezone, so tzalloc("Factory") succeeds, whereas
     16  1.3  kre # TZ="Etc/Unknown" is invalid and tzalloc("Etc/Unknown") fails.
     17  1.3  kre # Also, a downstream distributor could modify Factory to be a
     18  1.3  kre # default timezone suitable for the devices it manufactures,
     19  1.3  kre # whereas that cannot happen for Etc/Unknown.
