We might have another someday in Burma -> Myanmar -> Burma, since the dissidents (I believe this is correct) object to the process by which the (Latin-script) name of the country was changed. We already have BU deprecated in favor of MM; if the name is changed back and the old code is revived, we might end up with MM deprecated in favor of BU.
That could only happen if we had a provision to un-deprecate a record, which I don't think we do.
It might not hurt to add a sentence to (what is now) Section 3.1.3.3 to state that deprecation is forever, assuming we want that.
