Hmph.  Pacific/Enderbury is still defined according to tzdata 2023c,
which is the latest release:

$ grep Enderbury src/timezone/data/tzdata.zi
L Pacific/Kanton Pacific/Enderbury

Did Ubuntu decide to remove *all* backzone links from their data?
Or just that one?  Either way, I think they're going to get a tsunami
of pushback pretty quickly.  People like their obsolete zone names.
