This is something on the backlog for moment-timezone, in issue #227.

Below is the temporary workaround I provided there, which will shorten the list to 365 zone identifiers.

var names = Object.keys(moment.tz._zones)
    .map(function(k) { return moment.tz._zones[k].split('|')[0]; })
    .filter(function(z) { return z.indexOf('/') >= 0; })
    .sort();

This removes links and abbreviated zones from the list. We recognize this is still not ideal, and will improve upon this in a future release.
