You’re right… Two changes to a single file in most cases:
1. Set the correct new timezone (e.g. MST for California).
And now your system displays wrong info 100% of the time, since as I understand it, the zones will be changed (e.g. for me, CST will change from UTC-0600 to UTC-0500). How will you distinguish between "old" MST and "new" MST when you see it listed?
As I said, if necessary for your situation, rename the appropriate file and then keep the TZ name and simply change the DST on/off flag to off.
that'll be done by most major distribution without thought.
