    The Burma / Myanmar renaming was understandable as a political statement
    given the events that were happening at the time. But what exactly have
    the British done to trigger this?

Nothing _now_.  Emacs used to use American spellings uniformly,
but inconsistencies have crept in over the years.  It was just now
that we noticed them and Glenn volunteered to clean them up.
