IANA got rid of the really silly "abbreviation" and replaced it with one that's only moderately silly. But it's still pointless, so keep on not showing it. --- diff --git a/src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c b/src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c index 45ba7cd906..6d7fdc3c5e 100644 --- a/src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c +++ b/src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c @@ -4957,8 +4957,17 @@ pg_timezone_names(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) &tzoff, &tm, &fsec, &tzn, tz) != 0) continue; /* ignore if conversion fails */ - /* Ignore zic's rather silly "Factory" time zone */ - if (tzn && strcmp(tzn, "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page") == 0) + /* + * Ignore zic's rather silly "Factory" time zone.
