Pretty much. The only bright spot is that the tznames files are just
text and can be edited easily, so you can change them when you need to.

This isn't the first time this has happened, of course; in fact we
are pretty much reversing changes made in commit 3b91fe185a71c05a.
And that was in response to law changes that had happened two years
before (and nobody had complained meanwhile). So I'm not prepared to
consider this a critical issue.
