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.In that case, I guess we'd have to go for the UNSD numeric code, namely 104.
Would we do that, or would we simply add a Description field for the new name? See the "Burkina Faso" example in Section 3.4 (although that refers to changing a Description, something that is now discouraged).
This assumes that the entity in question remains the same, as judged by its UN code element, and only the name has changed.
