FreeBSD Installation unappropriate Ukraine timezones

The timezones for Ukraine offered by FreeBSD installation are really confus=
ing.=20

First of all, even if we agree with such explanation bug #19822, comment #2,
the name of the current only timezone for Ukraine is confusing. It should be
definitely NOT "Ukraine (most areas)", because it's for all areas in Ukrain=
e.

It should be just "Ukraine".

Second, Legacy timezones should be moved to other place. I offer to create a
category "Legacy" inside Ukraine and remove all that don't deal with modern
Ukraine to that category (/folder).

Also, they should be renamed for better understanding - I think it would be
enough to add the years of operation.

I reviewed previous bug reports on this matter accurately (bug #198822 & bug
#47468) and I think my solution may be the compromise if you would like to
preserve old timezones and avoid spoiling FreeBSD's reputation in Ukraine.

Please pay attention that Ukrainian Wikipedia article has a description of =
this
controversy regarding Ukraine timezones during installation of FreeBSD and =
this
definitely doesn't improve attraction for FreeBSD in Ukraine.
