      Description of problem:
      A customer is wondering why they can't use TZ like ROK, ROC and CET and Brazil/East.
      Has it been deliberately excluded?

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      anaconda-33.16.8.9

      How reproducible:
      Always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      add into the kickstart:
      timezone --utc ROK

      Actual results:
      WARNING org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Timezone:DEBUG:anaconda.modules.timezone.timezone:Timezone is set to ROK.
      WARNING org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Timezone:WARNING:anaconda.modules.timezone.installation:Timezone ROK set in kickstart is not valid, falling back to default (America/New_York).
