#204 closed defect (fixed)

Replace common_timezones with all_timezones

Reported by: pferreir Owned by: pferreir
Priority: normal Milestone: v0.97.0

Description

Currently, some timezones are not shown in the list, since they are considered to be "deprecated".
Since we don't want to be dependent on the politics of standardization of timezones, and we want to allow users to use the timezone names they're used to, we should start displaying the list of all the timezones.

It used to be Asia/Tel_Aviv, but someone reported that Jerusalem's
population is now greater than Tel Aviv's, at least by some measures.
Jerusalem is much better-known, so that was enough to get us to
switch.  If Jerusalem becomes a divided city with different
daylight-saving rules, then we'll need to revisit this issue.
