Hmm.. I don't love having to manually maintain a list of exceptions here, but this definitely fits with the approach we laid out in the documentation, and I don't foresee there being a ton of these kinds of things.

When comparing timezones on my Mac and GitHub Actions runners, I found that
localtimewas found in the timezone list for the runners, while not on my Mac. This is caused by the link (https://linuxman7.com/linux/man-pages/man5/localtime.5.html) that some systems make to the local timezone for easy lookup.I've removed it from the list, similar to how posixrules is removed.
Note that
Factoryalso exists but is in both lists so I didn't remove it.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--138012.org.readthedocs.build/
