Notes from the Maintainers

Source: europe (Lines 3541 to 3551)

From Tim Parenti (2014-07-03), per Oscar van Vlijmen (2001-08-25):
Asia/Kamchatka covers...
91	RU-KAM	Kamchatka Krai

Note: Effective 2007-07-01, (41) Kamchatka Oblast and (82) Koryak
Autonomous Okrug merged to form (91, RU-KAM) Kamchatka Krai.

The Zone name should be Asia/Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski or perhaps
Asia/Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, but these are too long.
