ISO 3166-1 change in name of Venezuela

[Phillips, Addison]

Add me to the chorus: let’s skip this one.

Please note: nothing in BCP 47 obligates us to track the names assigned by any of the ISO standards. Only their code assignments are obligatory. I’m glad that Doug notes these things, though, since occasionally there may be a change that is important to capture.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.

All hail Simon Bolivar, but I don't think it's necessary for us to
follow suit.
