This is already done, by applications outside glibc.  For example, the 
tzselect program (part of of the tzcode distribution) lets you list 
tzdata names alphabetically, or in order of distance from your location, 
or geographically.  Other commonly-used time zone selectors do something 
fancier, e.g., based on <http://efele.net/maps/tz> shapefiles.  None of 
these selectors are based on the recently-removed glibc locale 
information, or would benefit from reverting the removal.
