How do you feel about implementing "090.time-zone" with my ports addition, sysutils/tzdialog?

Aside, I have a question about the INDEX file...

Does the exit status of the program-to-be-executed matter in any way to bsdconfig?

Reason I ask is because tzdialog has a "-e" flag which may be useful if-desired, causing the exit status to be success if-and-only-if both a zonefile is selected and it was installed without error.
